Ideakone Hires Lemmetty, Reveals Future Plans
I had a brief chat this morning with Kai Lemmetty, one of the co-founders of Floobs, a Finnish startup now gone bankrupt. He told me that he has moved on from Floobs to a new startup where he's helping the team with some new product innovations and bringing in new perspectives to running their business. He's joined Ideakone, the creators of Kotisivukone (loosely translated as Homepagemachine) and the international version of it, Moogo.
Easing Website Development Is A Big Money Business
I bumped into Mikko Nurminen a few years ago and was immediately fascinated with their business. He's one of the co-founders of Ideakone and they own products such as Kotisivukone and Moogo as they're known in English. They're in the business of easing website development through modular plug and play features. We've recently written about one of their Estonian competitors Edicy and since there seems to be a lot of well developed business here, I thought of getting back in touch with Mikko and interview him on where they stand today.
