Company Profile
Joya Communications
Company Overview
Joya Communications Inc. (Joya) was founded in 2012 by Vlada and Michal Bortnik.
Their desire to stay deeply connected in the lives of their own families was the spark behind Joya, and the inspiration to help others create closeness too.
Marco Polo—a video communication app combining the richness of video with the convenience of text message for both 1:1 and group conversations—was created by Joya as a tool to help foster closeness between friends and family.
Though our backgrounds are diverse, we share a belief—lives flourish when people feel close. That common inspiration keeps us aligned with our purpose as a team, scattered across the U.S., including Seattle, Portland, Eugene, LA, and the Bay Area.
The distance doesn't slow us down. We keep the engine humming from our homes, co-working spaces, and coffee shops—connecting with daily Zoom calls, and quarterly retreats.
Whether collaborating through Slack, video calls, or of course Marco Polo, our team knows how to keep connected—it’s what we do best!
