The starup with anomniscient vision
Kenneth was working in natural language processing when he fell in love with podcasts. He loved and hated the endless ocean of podcasts available at a click. On one hand, he had access to a vast pool of knowledge, with podcasts on every topic he could think of. On the other, he couldn’t find anything in there.
That’s when inspiration struck. He combined his day job with his new passion and created AI that would make a search engine for podcasts.
Through multiple prototypes, and with the help of a partner and incubator, Fathom was born. Using natural language processing AI, Fathom listens to and searches through podcasts to find exactly what users are looking for.
The need for extra hands
As an AI specialist, Kenneth found that coding the AI mastermind was the easy part. But when it came time to engineer the app that would introduce Fathom to the world, he didn’t have the experience or the extra hands to make it happen.
So, he started his search for devs that would give his all-knowing AI an appropriate temple.
Kenneth needed a coven of dedicated engineers with Nuxt.js, TailwindCSS, Node.js, Vue.js, and SwiftUI superpowers, along with solid UI experience. But when they tried to hire through Upwork, they got lost in a labyrinth of devious devs, burning time and money.
When the magichappens
The Lemon.io team was able to find a developer for Fathom within 24 hours. Impressed with the offering, Kenneth approved the dev on the spot. After the initial hire, Fathom continued to leverage Lemon.io’s pre-vetted pool of devs, hiring 5 more devotees to scale their product to greatness.
For 18 months and counting, Fathom has relied on Lemon.io’s divine devs for miraculously fast product development.
If you were to hire an engineer from Lemon.io or an engineer from the States, would there be any difference in speed? There was really none. And that was the most impressive thing.

Real estate
Lemon was impressive from the first interaction. I recommend Lemon 100%. In fact, I’ve already recommended them to others. We couldn’t have gotten RealEstateAPI to where it is today without Lemon – unless we completely burnt out our CTO.
Marketplace
The main thing was I wanted someone that I could trust because I have no developing experience. With my Lemon developer, I very quickly realized he was someone that I could have a lot of confidence in.
Telecommunications
We needed extra developers to clean off all these bugs so the company could skyrocket.
Rocket hiring ride
Top-notch developers within 48 hours, hand-picked for your team.
