I started our startup because of a strong personal frustration with the inefficiency of meetings. I often found myself bogged down in unnecessary and unproductive meetings, which led to a waste of valuable time and resources. This pain point inspired me to create a solution that could streamline the meeting process, making it more organized, productive, and less burdensome for professionals like me. Retime was born out of a genuine desire to redefine how meetings are conducted, enabling teams to focus on what truly matters and make the most out of their valuable time. https://retime.so

Poverty. I needed money for everything, and at the age of 15, it was hard to get a good job.

Starting ProApp was born out of a strong passion for education and technology. We wanted to create a platform that empowers learners and makes education more accessible and engaging for everyone. It's been an exciting and fulfilling adventure so far, and we're thrilled to have just launched ProApp on Product Hunt today! If you want to learn more about our startup and the platform, check out our Product Hunt page here: (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...). Feel free to ask more questions or share your thoughts!

One of my clients needed a lot of custom emails with some very specific requirements. Coding emails can be very tedious, so i created mailbites.io with a friend of mine to make the whole thing a bit simpler and more enjoyable.

We build a software platform for internal use at WPKraken. Customers were delighted with the customer experience that the platform has provided for them. They started asking what kind of solution is this, and if they could have one for their own business.

We started off as an dating app and quickly rose to become the #2 in Vietnam after Tinder. However, we realized that the nature of a dating app is to be deleted, and our mission is to revolutionize the way that we connect. However, when it comes to dating, we'd just be a part of one type of connection. So - Leka was created to focus on the many different relationships that we have through life and we're meant to challenge the likes of Facebook and TikTok.

I realized that if I started my own company, I could do better, cheaper, and faster than my company was doing, and of course, provide for my family.
