Renxo

What Renxo does

Renxo is a Buenos Aires-headquartered value-added services (VAS) technology company founded in 2005 that delivers mobile entertainment, marketing, and commerce solutions to mobile consumers across Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Middle East, and Oceania. Its platform aggregates a catalogue of over 1,200 games and applications, music and video streaming, digital magazines, books, and editorial content, organized into branded products including the Toonz content catalogue, TV Toonz (exclusive classic cartoon streaming including Tom & Jerry, Superman, and The Flintstones), XONE (an all-you-can-eat smartphone gaming platform), HTML5 Subscriptions, and a Content Store with daily and weekly passport access options. The technology layer is smartphone-optimized mobile sites rather than native apps, with a proprietary content filtering system that suppresses incompatible or already-acquired items from recommendations.

Renxo monetizes through three revenue streams: (1) recurring consumer subscriptions (daily passport, weekly passport, and monthly all-you-can-eat plans) for content access, (2) transaction fees from carrier billing, where content prices are deducted from prepaid balances or charged to mobile accounts via operator partnerships, and (3) B2B White Label and On Deck optimization services for mobile operators, including WAP on-portal, SAT Push, and SMS notification offerings. The company serves as both a B2C content distributor and a B2B VAS technology provider to mobile operators. Its commercial footprint covers 30+ operators including Movistar, Claro, Entel, Telcel, AT&T, Vodacom, Tigo, and Antel, supported by 12 wholly-owned country subsidiaries, a regional European HQ in Dublin (Ireland), and an additional Dublin-based corporate entity, with ISO 9001:2015 certification and Google Partner status supporting its vendor credentials.

The company serves mobile consumers seeking premium digital content via carrier-billed or alternative payments, and enterprise customers (mobile operators) seeking turnkey VAS and content portfolios. Operations are led by founder and CEO Manuel Dominguez Sarmiento, with specialized professionals embedded in each territory; headcount sits at 51–100 employees, and the active user base is reported at three million.
