Birth of a Startup
Skimbit

Alicia has an IT degree from Sydney, Australia, and has worked in internet and mobile application product management for 10 years.

However, in 2006, as a result of a failed Google job interview, Alicia decided to implement an idea for a web application she had come up with years before, and start her own web start-up.

She used her savings, and worked full-time while developing the proposition, and hired Romanian developers to make her vision a reality. It was hard unforgiving work, but her passion and dedication to her vision kept her working day and night.
