Cinobo, a member of Scale Up Batch 8, has grown into a unique streaming service that curates hundreds of acclaimed films and iconic series from major film festivals worldwide, making high-quality cinematic experiences easily accessible on Smart TVs, computers, smartphones, tablets, and even offline.

Before establishing Cinobo, Dafni cultivated a strong foundation in scientific research.

Beyond those accademics, Dafni holds an MSci from the University of Glasgow. She also advises aspiring entrepreneurs to start ventures driven by passion and conviction rather than for the sake of it. For her, the best ideas are those that stay with you, becoming a vision you’re eager to realize and share with others
