Famosos.com operates a video‑shoutout platform (often compared to Cameo) that lets Latin American celebrities monetize direct connections with fans. The company launched in 2019 and was founded by CEO Andrés Cohen and co‑founder Heinz Sohm. Today the platform hosts over 1,800 celebrities from 20 countries and initially grew from a soft launch with 67 celebrities to 400 at official launch. Famosos positions Miami as a strategic base while maintaining a distributed team across Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and Mexico. The startup plans to expand into Brazil, launch a Portuguese version of the product, and evolve beyond video messages toward a broader "super app" of monetization and fan‑engagement products. Current team size is 22 with plans to grow to 40 in the coming months.
