“Bloop defines itself as the “first true” social shopping network, since it combines a marketplace with social networks and will finally hit the market next week after “9 months of development”, revealed Francisco Rodrigues, CEO and co-founder of the national startup.”

“He explained that around 200 micro-influencers will “offer invitations to the platform on social networks” and that they have been chosen to “create content” in which they “share real experiences” in order to “maintain authenticity”.

“The aim now “is to validate the concept, gather metrics and listen to customers and by the end of the year” to make the solution publicly available to all users and enter “Spain in France at the beginning of 2026”.”

“During this period, “experiences” will also be made available, i.e. “the sale of local services, such as restaurants, spas, tourist activities”. This is an area in which Bloop believes it will differentiate itself because “it allows customers to show” what they’ve done and make a recommendation, and because it’s a less developed area than e-commerce.”
