Pongalo creates, acquires, and distributes Latino-focused content to audiences in the US and over 15 countries. It controls one of the largest IP libraries of Latino-focused films and TV shows in the world, which includes premium titles from Latin American and U.S. producers, including Hollywood blockbuster films from studios as such as Warner Bros and Sony. The company's 13,000+ hours of film and TV content features global stars such as Guillermo Del Toro and Jennifer Lopez, as well as an expansive collection of works from a new generation of Latino content creators.

The company offers a marketplace of Latin media brands, including its namesake Pongalo for women and kids, and MooviMex featuring Mexican action and comedy movies for men. Its offerings are available everywhere through the company's proprietary methods and platforms, as well as through partnerships with numerous online and offline distributors, such as Amazon, Roku, Softbank/Sprint's Brightstar, and many others.

Pongalo's institutional shareholders include Revolution Studios (Carlyle), Canyon Creek Capital, Digital Bridge, 500 Startups and others, along with high-profile media names, such as Herb Scannell (former Vice Chairman of MTV Networks), Kevin Conroy (President of Digital & New Initiatives at MGM), and Erik Moreno (President of Corporate Development & New Investments at Time Inc.).

The company was formed in 2014 under the name Latin Everywhere, and was later renamed Pongalo.
