Job platform startup, Lancify, looks to register 3,000 Romanian students in 2019

A pair of young entrepreneurs hailing from Dubai have debuted their student freelancing platform in Romania - Bucharest specifically - and are eager to expand both in the community and across borders.

About one year and a half ago, in Dubai, two students made a platform for students, hoping their startup would help solve the problem of youth unemployability by connecting student freelancers with young companies. A few months ago, the young entrepreneurs Gowtham Sundaresan and Azan Barodawala made their freelancing platform available to Bucharest students as well, in a partnership with the Polytechnic University. They decided to make this move because they saw the potential and wanted to “get in the game early,” Gowtham Sundaresan said in an interview with Romania-insider.com.

The platform, named Lancify, was well received by the students in Bucharest, and now the two founders expect 3,000 pre-screened Romanian students to sign up on the platform by end-2019, amid their plans to make it available to students across Romania and add Sweden to the list as well.
