About Us.
The layers team

What's Layers?
Layers is a new service that enables you to speak your mind, overlaying videos, images and text on top of any web page, and then share your content with anyone you like.

How the idea came up?
In early 2008 Marcos found himself wondering why people couldn't add text, videos or any other kind of content onto an already existing webpage.

In the real world anyone can write or draw on a sheet of paper. Why doesn't the web allow that same kind of functionality? Shouldn't people be able to use it in the same way?

That was when the idea was born: to enable anyone to add content to an already existing webpage by creating a layer on top. Simple!

What motivates us?
At Layers we believe that people should have the opportunity to unleash their talent. To build, add, and share their ideas and emotions, wherever and with whomever they want. It's that simple.

We believe that "Together we can do it better".

Layers is a project open to innovative ideas no matter where they come from. Layers wants to build a community of developers and creators around it to help build new tools which can be used on top of any website.

With offices in Barcelona and New York, we want to build services that people like all over the world.
