Hey, this is Aleksandr Volodarsky
In this blog, I'll be sharing my journey growing lemon.io and other experiments.
I founded Coding Ninjas in 2015 with an idea to build an Uber for web development. You post a project, and the next available (pre-vetted) developer picks it up.
Even though the model sounded beautiful, scaling such a business was a utopia.
We pivoted and rebranded to lemon.io and match startups with rigorously vetted engineers.
Previously I had 2 failed attempts to build businesses: AdSense for images and local classified in Ukraine. Before that, I was the head of sales in 100-person SEM agency.
