#1399 How Raj Jeyakumar built Skillbridge and sold it to Toptal

1 hour 1 minute

A few weeks ago I talked to a guy who sold his company to one of my sponsors. The company was Skillbridge and he sold it to Toptal. I wanted to get a sense of how Toptal was growing.

While I was on the phone with Skillbridge’s founder I couldn’t believe how interesting his story was. I had to invite him to come share it with my audience.

I want to hear how he had a killer idea before and missed out on it because of a stupid mistake! But he built his company to the point where it was acquired.

Raj Jeyakumar is the founder of Skillbridge, an online platform to help you find and hire the world’s best consultants on demand.
