Our mission
Mitosk is built on a simple belief: learning should be as irresistible as anything else you would choose to do in your free time. Not a duty, but an adventure that takes you further than you expected.
We build Mitosk so that anyone — regardless of where they start or what they want to learn — can find genuine enjoyment and growth in knowledge.
Iván
Founder · Designer · DeveloperComputer Engineering, Business Administration and a Master's in Artificial Intelligence. Mitosk is a fully solo project: the illustrations, the design, the user experience, the code and the technical architecture have all come from the same hands. That has a direct consequence on how the product feels — when one person touches every layer, the details get a different kind of attention.
I have always been very curious — the kind of person who falls down a documentary rabbit hole at midnight and does not mind losing sleep over it. But I have also felt that sensation of wanting to learn something and running into flat, lifeless formats with no spark. Mitosk was born from wanting no one to close the door on knowledge just because they find it dull or intimidating — so that everyone has the chance to genuinely enjoy learning about what fascinates them.
Raúl
Economics · Strategy · MarketingA degree in Economics and a fascination with how the real world works: markets, institutions and the decisions that shape them. At Mitosk, Raúl handles business and strategy: the revenue model, market analysis, pricing and relationships with institutions and clients. He uses data to inform decisions that help the project grow sustainably.
My time in education taught me something no exam asked for: what matters is not the dates or numbers, but really understanding the cause or consequence of each aspect and what can change when a factor varies. That way of learning — looking for the why, connecting causes — was not always what I found in a classroom. Mitosk is the first place where I see that curiosity turned into something anyone can use, not just those who arrive already full of motivation.
