Founder Story 📚:
Meet Catalin Briciu, founder and co-CEO of Linnify, a software company that dares to innovate.
“The company started as an on-demand grocery delivery platform in our hometown, with the classic student founders doing everything from their apartments in the very first months. Little by little, we grew into the digital product studio we are today, helping bold innovators transform authentic ideas into successful products. All of this by following a validation-driven approach.”
