I assume poor country refers to Ukraine. We have designers connected to the app from almost all continents though, including Canada, Germany, Portugal.

Thank you! It's a fair question given though unit economics in businesses like ours are usually pretty healthy. As we had a bootstrap experience before and were (still are!) very lean, we considered the options you mentioned too. The p

hi! Thank you for the reply and what a great point. I can relate and yes, a lot of business in Ukraine are urged to switch to other markets to survive. I assume their cold outreach attempts might look naive and exploiting. I still believe t

Thank you! We also see it this way from what we hear from folks. Eg I limited newsfeed to 2 times a day and try to be busy all other times otherwise it gets all energy away for being worried.

hi, thank you for the reply! Safe and yes, therapy helps with healing. I might understand your concern around toxic culture of "growth at all cost" as SV religion. After bootstrapping my 3 companies before, I am not a fan of it to

Hi! I might have missed your comment first, sorry for the longer reply! Thank you for this question! I think DP is a good design company, still, we might be different in a few dimensions. First, we have different focuses. I see them going a

Hi! Thank you for the direct feedback. I am not sure I got your point correctly, so I would kindly ask to share my point of view below. Awesomic stands for empowering creative design community from Europe, Ukraine in particular (where we ar

Hi! Glad you liked the idea and thank you for the feedback! I agree that Europe (and Ukraine in particular) has an amazing talent pool not yet connected widely to the global companies. From the perspective of design community we build, we w

Yes, thank you! We guarantee 24h turnaround Mon-Fri. The designers matched keep working with the same brands for a long time (we have 18+ months client already, one of the early ones) so they need weekends for sure.

hi! Thank you for much for sharing your thoughts and feedback! We also hate this concept of limiting revisions or a need to negotiate every single detail. It takes focus from the work and result to some routine. I am so happy you saw Awesom

Hi and thank you for the great question! The main points are: - putting quality first, and connecting even award-winning designers. - having a strong product design expertise (like UI/UX and animations) to serve startups while typical

Hi! Thank you for pointing out our pricing. I totally agree it's not final and we might want to reconsider it to keep the high standards. Now all of the designers are based in Europe and we can be more cost-effective. Regarding the pro

That is so true! We were based at the startup-ish co-working space holding events before covid. That's how the right traffic came in.

Hi! Thank you! Yes, startups especially benefit from being both fast and cost-effective with us. When we just get into YC community a few months ago, our revenue naturally grew by 193% and the team grew from 15 to 50 just because of startup

Thank you for such a kind feedback! You're right, some prefer turnaround being even longer to not comment so often. For complex or ongoing projects that may be the case — managers can comment whenever have time, still, they are guarant
