Summary

I founded Lemon.io (previous name 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.

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 a 100-person SEM agency.
