What's your business, and who are your customers?

We are an online education company serving people learning to use Arduino, ESP boards, and other microcontroller development boards.

Tell us about yourself

I love how amazing it is to write code that can control real-world things. It's pure joy, and I am on a mission to spread that far and wide.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Having our customers show off their creations - it's validation like no other.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Seeing all your great ideas flop like buttered bread landing face down on a dirty kitchen floor.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Focus on making sales as early as possible.
  2. Treat as many customers with unscalable love as possible.
  3. Treat your employees like pure gold.
