We've found our founding engineer! Gerardo Raiden (G for short) comes to us with a ton of both engineering and founder / CTO experience. He's started multiple companies, has successful exits, is an incredibly talented engineer, and an all-around great guy. This is a huge milestone for Mylance, and I could not be more excited to welcome him to the team. He has already started collaborating with our dev shop, and started full time July 1st!  From a product perspective, we've pivoted a bit to build the Shopify for Freelancers. We're building the front-end storefront for a consultant. Think of it as a turn-key website that a consultant can have up and running in under 5 minutes. After talking to hundreds of consultants, they want a website that they feel legitimizes them as consultants. LinkedIn doesn't do the job. So they turn to website builders (Wordpress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow) which require designers, time, money and energy to build a nice looking site. Further, it's not customized to their consulting needs.We will then build out features that help consultants run their businesses. We should have the first version of this live in the next few weeks!
