BOSTON – AF Experience is a technology company focusing on social experiences. The founders, Ari Kalos and Fotios Stamos, have a long history in working with the Greek and Greek-American culture around the world, and especially in the USA.
Their first project was a Greek-American social network launched in 1998. Since then, they have worked with every outlet in every medium to bring Hellenic culture to the forefront, from being the first to host a public screening of My Big Fat Greek Wedding before the film went into wide release and creating a Greek-American reality show on American broadcast TV to creating the first Apple and Android app for the Hellenic community around the world and creating the first social picture galleries on the web anywhere. They have been featured in U.S. news media, in print and on television, as well as in the Greek media, and their long history from the early days of the web speaks for itself.
Today, they are focused on enhancing Greek culture in many digital and real world ways by promoting the Greek community, as well as Greek organizations and businesses. They have launched multiple websites and apps as well as podcasts and multimedia channels focused on various Greek themes.
