It’s a big week for this small startup. As of Monday, Rentcycle doubled in size, growing from one to two full-time employees. Don’t worry, the company dog is still involved—it’s just taken a back seat to Rentcycle’s latest addition.
Meet
Ludo Goarin, Rentcycle’s newly dubbed Co-Founder and Chief Technical Officer. For the past eight years, Ludo has run his own web development company,
OrangeSites, where he and his team have helped hundreds of clients build strong, sustainable online presences by leveraging online technologies, web design and SEO. A man of many talents, Ludo is more than just a coder. He also brings sales, marketing, business and design experience to the table, making him a key voice when it comes to product strategy and company vision.
After eight years of building websites for other early-stage companies, Ludo is ready to take the plunge and be part of his own startup dream. He believes in the business model for Rentcycle and is eager to create a superior product. One of Ludo’s best qualities is his focus on the user. His plan is to engineer a solution that solves a real need for both businesses and consumers.
Ludo brings a sense of worldliness to the Rentcycle team as well. Hailing from France, Ludo attended
ESSCA where he received degrees in International Marketing, Languages, as well as a Masters in Business Administration. Research has shown Europe is even more progressive than the U.S. when it comes to renting as a form of commerce, so this French connection might come in handy down the road ☺
Ludo lives with his wife in San Francisco. He takes advantage of the outdoor playground of Northern California as a basketball player, scuba diver and kite surfer. He even finds time for the occasional fishing trip and he now rents all of his equipment!
Welcome, Ludo. Rentcycle couldn’t be more thrilled to have you on board!
