“Speedlancer started in 2015. Basically, my my business endeavor started when I was 11 or 12, but I started in e commerce when I was 14. And I couldn't hire people sitting next to me in high school and then university. So I ended up being a big user of oDesk and Elance at the time, which merged to become Upwork. And so I decided to start my own freelancing marketplace called Speedlancer.”
“startadam is a communication project management app without an app. We connect existing tools that you use together. So for example, you can create cross platform communication groups between Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, SMS. You can be chatting with a bunch of people, clients, whoever you like, your accountant through any tools.”
“We actually just launched like two weeks ago. We're working out our pricing model right now. So happy to talk about a bit of the thoughts that's going into that. But we have an API and then a sort of standalone product.”
