History

DRIDCO was founded on March 2008 due to the merger of two companies: DeRemate Inc. and Interactivos y Digitales SA.

DeRemate.com is an online trading platform that sold its operations in Argentina and Chile to S.A. La Nación on December 2005. Luis Saguier, CEO of La Nación made the transaction possible, for he had the aim to create a classified Internet Company. The purchase could be made successfully, thanks to the relationship Luis maintained with Guido Grinbaum (founder of DeRemate.com on August 1999). Luis Saguier and Guido Grinbaum had started a friendship during university, and were now planning to build a company together.

Moreover, on January, 2006, Mariano Nejamkis, who had also studied with them at University, joined the company as CEO in DeRemate.com. On December the company launched trading platforms in Mexico and Colombia, with the name Dereto.com, and created its own payment platform: Depagos.com. It also created DeMotores.com, an online platform for selling and purchasing cars.

Interactivos y Digitales was an Internet company originated on March 2006, that started its own businesses: Zonajobs.com, Zonacitas.com and Zonaprop.com. The company was founded by Guido Grinbaum, Gabriel Dantur, Daniel Serra, Ricardo Amenedo and Francisco de la Mano, with the financial support of La Nación.

After the merger of both companies in the year 2008, DRIDCO (DeRemate + Interactivos Digitales + Compañía) launched the sites Danuncis.com, and NexoLocal.com. On August 2008, DRIDCO sold the operations DeRemate, DeReto and DePagos to MercadoLibre.com in U$ 40 million dollars, consolidating one of the most relevant Internet transaction sales in Latinamerica from the past three years. DRIDCO became a self sufficient company and was able to generate its own funding in order to keep developing its businesses.

Today, DRIDCO has operating offices in Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela, and virtual operations in Peru, Ecuador, Brazil and Spain.

Besides, DRIDCO, CMD (Compañía de Medios Digitales S.A) and the famous cartoonist Nik, launched on December 2009, Mundogaturro.com: a children´ s game based on virtual aspects and interactive activities.
