Talent search

Kloogo is the brainchild of Justas Beržinskas and Ainis Visokinskas, entrepreneurs who identified a need in the startup ecosystem for a streamlined way to connect startups with potential team members. Their vision was to create a platform that made finding the right people as simple and intuitive as swiping on a mobile app.

The app needed to feature a simple and intuitive UI, akin to Tinder, that included swiping, matching, and messaging functionalities. This tight deadline required efficient planning and rapid development to deliver a working solution.
