Camilo graduated from International Business Administration at the Rosario University in Bogota. From an early age he was fascinated by technology and online education, using the Internet as his primary source of learning. Due to his entrepreneurial experience, in 2014 the Entrepreneurs’ Organization recognized him as one of the best young entrepreneurs in Colombia. In Latin America alone there are 20 million college students, and 99% of them resort to the use of photocopies, which mount to a yearly expenditure of more than $1.100 million USD in illegal photocopies due to copyright infringements. Camilo saw this as an opportunity for a team of experienced entrepreneurs to legally compete against piracy in academic texts. Lorapp, was created in 2015 as an app that allows universities to digitally rent chapters of academic books, at a similar price of photocopies. Lorapp pays authors and publishers for each rented reading, creating a simple, legal and economic alternative through which publishers can recover the money they were not getting from piracy, and also reducing environmental impact by avoiding the use of paper and ink. In 2015, Lorapp was selected as the education startup with the greatest growth potential in Latin America by Village Capital. WebSite: www.lorapp.com
