Marco Polo's purpose is to help people feel close. It's a new way to stay in touch with people who matter most to you. Vlada and Michal Bortnik created Marco Polo in 2016 as a way to stay close to their family around the world. Unlike social media, there is no wasted time, no social comparisons, and no likes! Millions of people are using Marco Polo as a way of sharing life together with the most important people in their lives, not the entire world. Marco Polo is exactly what you'd expect from a company started by a mom and a dad and loved by millions of people.
