Hi, I'm Nemanja, 32, husband of Nataša and father of two wonderful kids, founder, and also CEO of Goldbear Technologies. I thought it would be interesting to share my professional story with you, it feels perfectly complete with the recent launch of a product we're immensely proud of.
It's not just about business; it's about the trials, errors, and learnings along the way. Ready to dive in?
It all started with a simple observation and a firm belief that "riches are in the niches." About five years ago, as I scrolled through some pretty, well, underwhelming limo agency websites, an idea sparked. The limo industry, a niche if there ever was one, was in dire need of digital disruption. And who better to bring that change than someone from the tech?
Together with a close friend, I embarked on what I believed to be a groundbreaking venture - Monne Transfers. We aimed to bridge the digital gap, capitalizing on the weak online presence of many limo agencies. With the dream of capturing inquiries through the power of SEO, we set out with excitement and determination. But as it often goes with first ventures, despite the hours, passion, and effort poured in, Monne Transfers didn't take off the way I thought it would. Ambition was there, but the budget and business know-how? Not so much.
But here's the thing about failures – if you’re lucky and smart enough, they are the best teachers you’ll need.
Over the next few years I focused on my tech career. I immersed myself in Montenegro's thriving IT scene, rubbing shoulders with the best in the business. As a developer, I sharpened my technical skills. And with every business meeting, every project, and every challenge, I was learning – not just as a tech professional, but as an entrepreneur.
In 2021, armed with experience and a new-found confidence, I founded Goldbear Technologies. Safe to say, it was a rollercoaster. But each challenge faced, each hurdle overcome,I was more determined than ever to shape it into a stable and successful company.
Then came 2023, and with it, a nudge from the past. My conversations with consultants from the top limo agencies brought a realization – the industry still hadn't evolved. That initial spark, the idea of revolutionizing the limo agency landscape, reignited. Only this time, I had everything: the vision, resources, experience, and an everlasting determination.
And so, behold – the idea of LimoExpress was born!
More than just a platform, LimoExpress is the embodiment of my journey – a story of persistence, passion, and the firm belief that success often lies in the niches we overlook.
Stick around, for this is just the beginning. This is the first of a series of 10 articles of preproduction era. There's so much more to share, and I can't wait to take you all along on this incredible ride with LimoExpress.
