Nextory was founded in 2015 by serial entrepreneurs Shadi Bitar and Ninos Malki. Since then, the company has developed into a fast-growing platform that enables the unlimited distribution of stories and knowledge in various digital formats. Today, Nextory is one of Europe’s largest streaming services for digital books and magazines.
The story of Nextory began in Syria, where the two founders grew up. When they were children, they witnessed how the dictatorship limited the access to books, and saw what it did to their country. So when Shadi and Ninos came to Sweden, they made it their mission to make books available to everyone.
