THE STARTUP WITH
A HEAVENLY VISION
A platform connecting customers with satellite providers, SkyFi makes satellite photography (and its arcane knowledge) accessible to stargazers everywhere.
With a vision that big, they’re shaping the future of satellite imagery:
We are trying to make satellite imagery as accessible and inexpensive as possible.

THE NEED FOR
EXTRA HANDS
During development, the SkyFi team found themselves overloaded with engineer-hiring chaos. They needed to scale fast, but they didn’t have enough devs, and time to find the exalted engineers they needed.
As they searched for help, they became trapped in a hiring labyrinth, endlessly searching through resumes and interviewing engineers that were merely meh. Without divine aid, their deadlines seemed impossible.
That’s when SkyFi found the light of Lemon.io.
We had decided that we needed to in-house the building of our front-end as opposed to outsourcing. And we needed to do that quickly.
Marc Horowitz, COO of SkyFi
THE RESULTS
Less than 24 hours later, Lemon.io presented a pool of divine developers, giving SkyFi time to run their own assessments and pick their perfect match.
Empowered by a dedicated dev, SkyFi was able to push on without getting mired in long hiring process.
The Lemon.io devs have remarkably enhanced SkyFi’s performance, resulting in substantial cost savings and huge leaps in quality.
Impressed by the Lemon.io developerhood, SkyFi then hired four more devotees from Lemon.io, including a Python, Sr React Native, two RN developers, and a DevOps engineer.
Later on SkyFi team “buy out” all the Lemon.io devotees that worked with them, as they were absolutely brilliant fit for their team.
We have four people who already started working with us officially, and they’ve all been fantastic, and we have a couple more starting soon. We brought them on, and instantly they were part of the team.
