Who is Brian Luerssen?

Draftbit was co-founded by Brian Luerssen and Peter Piekarczyk. Brian Luerssen, originally from Indianapolis, studied at Indiana University and later earned an MBA at the University of Chicago. He has a background in entrepreneurship and venture capital, having worked with Techstars Chicago and co-founding the venture fund LongJump. Peter Piekarczyk, a Chicago-based entrepreneur with Polish roots, has been involved in product development from a young age, starting with selling logos and websites. He is also passionate about ReasonML and has a history of working with technologies like Expo and React Native.

What problem does Draftbit solve?

Draftbit enables individuals and teams to quickly build mobile apps without needing in-depth coding skills, which is great for people who find traditional app development too complex and time-consuming. By offering an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and including the ability to export usable source code, Draftbit appeals to developers and non-developers alike, making app creation more accessible and less daunting.

How did Brian come up with the idea for Draftbit?

Draftbit began when the founders identified a gap in app development: the process was complex, expensive, and reserved for those with technical skills. This realization came from their personal experiences and interactions within the startup ecosystem, where they noticed a growing need for easier app-building solutions.
