Today on the show, we’re talking to Borja Latorre, co-creator of “The Ifs” - and educational toy which is similar to If This Then That for the physical world and of course it’s for kids. Our interviewee, Borja, is a software developer with over 15 years experience in research & development for scientific applications. He holds a B.Sc. in Physics and a M.Sc. and Ph.D in Computer Science. Borja truly believes that technology has the potential to make the world a better place. In 2013, he co-founded Makeroni, a non-profit organization to create digital craft projects with social impact. The Ifs is his first hardware product, accompanied by his teammates Luis, Esther and Ferugs, on which they’ve been working for more than 2 years before launching on kickstarter.The Ifs originally launched on Kickstarter just before Christmas in 2019 and unfortunately did not meet its funding goal of $200.000 - but in the end more than 50% got funded which also shows that there was clear interest.
