S5 Bonus: Timur Mamedov, VEED.io

Timur Mamodev grew up in Russia, within a very loving and supportive family. His Dad was an entrepreneur, so he knew some day he wanted to do the same, or at least have some sort of brand. His Mom gave up everything to support her children, and he's very grateful for that. He was a creative kid, kept to himself with millions of hobbies - including graffiti, which was a way to escape and express himself. At the time in Russia, there weren't consequences attached to painting, and Timur got quite a rush from it.

He found himself hacking playstation portables at a young age, when his cousin introduced him to programming. During his last year in University, his world got flipped upside down when his Dad's business went under. Immediately, his family dropped into poverty and his relationship to programming became about survival.

He started attending hackathons as much as he could, and he met his co-founder Saba, who helped him learn how to make money contracting. They hit it off, and have been through so much together that they consider each others brothers. One day, they got fed up with the complexity of video editing software... and decided to disrupt it.

This is the creation story of Veed.io.
