The story here was simple: by trading on our decentralized, non-custodial platform, traders could protect their assets. My second business, Altcoin.io, was a decentralized exchange (DEX) for trading digital assets. We helped small businesses compete against their larger rivals through mobile marketing – and this struck an emotional chord with our customers. What was the bigger picture? What positive change did our business enable? In the end, we had the perfect David vs Goliath tale. Now, $100,000 isn’t a lot of money, so we needed a story that resonated with our target market so we could scale before the cash ran out. By the time Bizness Apps was acquired by private equity firm Think3, we had grown to $10M in annual recurring revenue, operating in 40 countries, and employing over 100 people.
We made mobile app development affordable for small businesses, and initially, raised around $100,000 in funding. I started my first company, Bizness Apps, while still in college. I like to build stuff, mostly companies, and try to tell a story that goes beyond what the company does to how it’s changing markets. I’m Andrew Gazdecki and I’ve been an entrepreneur for longer than I can remember.
