Launch and expansion
Born Arca de Noé, now Arca de Noé Vivapets, was launched on January 1, 2000, by Memória Visual[1], a small company based in Oporto, Portugal founded by Marcos Cerqueira. It was the pioneering project focusing on pet communities initially being available for the Portuguese speaking countries, mainly Portugal and Brazil. On 2003 Marco Sousa, already working closely with Cerqueira in technology and development, joined the company as CTO and the first major upgrade was launched featuring a totally new interface and many new features.
After a year of development the biggest change to the project came about with the launch in February 2007 of a beta Vivapets project, taking the concept to the English and Spanish speaking audience and incorporating many innovative features associated with Web 2.0 projects.
