# Founder — Johnny Fekete > Two companies built from zero to one: Bonboarding (solo founder, 2021–2025) and Recruitio (co-founder and CTO, 2016–2020). Canonical URL: I build companies from zero to one that solve real problems. I believe we can build successful businesses by doing the right things — no shortcuts, no tricks, just honest work and great products. Kindness is my core value, and I measure success in happiness, not just revenue. As a founder, I'm strongest at building products and turning ideas into real systems. I thrive on execution. I move fast, experiment often, and love the creative chaos of early-stage building. Always open to meeting potential co-founders for the next adventure. ## Bonboarding — Solo Founder, 2021–2025 My most ambitious project. I saw product teams struggling to create engaging onboarding experiences, so I built Bonboarding: a platform that let them create beautiful, interactive walkthroughs without needing developers. Built and bootstrapped everything from scratch as a solo founder — the web platform, browser extension, visual editor, and analytics dashboard. Scaled to 100+ B2B customers, showing over 300K product tours to their end users. Got into the AWS Loft Accelerator along the way. After years of building it alone, I made the tough decision to close it down. It taught me more about entrepreneurship, resilience, and knowing when to move on than any success could have. ## Recruitio — Co-founder & CTO, 2016–2020 My first real startup. I co-founded Recruitio in Denmark to build a better talent sourcing tool and ATS for recruiters. Just as we were getting started, I moved to Barcelona, so I built the entire platform remotely from Spain, figuring out how to turn recruiting workflows into software. As we gained traction in the Scandinavian market, I built and led a distributed engineering team, and watched the platform grow into a prominent player in the Scandinavian HR space. Eventually I stepped back and exited to investors. ## Related - [Product Engineer](https://johnnyfekete.com/product-engineer) — the engineering side of these products - [About](https://johnnyfekete.com/about) — full biography - [Contact](https://johnnyfekete.com/contact) — hello@johnnyfekete.com
