One Of These For Every Remote Skill

Aleksandr Volodarsky is the Ukrainian 🇺🇦 cofounder of Lemon.io, “a marketplace of vetted offshore engineers.”

He’s aiming to grow the company from $2.7 million to $10 million in GMV this year, and is tracking his progress on Twitter.

(GMV = gross merchandise value. In other words, how much money passed through the marketplace.)

In a recent interview with Andrew Warner on Mixergy, Aleksandr talked about other opportunities for marketplace businesses, such as marketplaces for no-code developers, Notion experts, Salesforce experts, etc.

Paraphrasing Andrew:

For every remote skill, there should be a managed marketplace like Lemon.io.

Aleksandr’s advice is to build a very niche marketplace, easier to get traction that way.

An example is Funnel Rolodex, a marketplace for freelancers who offer services related to building and optimizing funnels. That business does $58k in monthly revenue.
