This is a follow up story for Frontend Mentor. If you're interested in reading how they got started, published almost 4 years ago, check it out here.

Hello again! Remind us who you are and what business you started.

Hey! My name is Matt Studdert, and I’m the founder of Frontend Mentor, an online learning platform for front-end development. We help people improve their coding skills by gaining hands-on experience building projects and giving feedback to others. In our original Starter Story article, you can read about the early days of growing Frontend Mentor.

Frontend Mentor has a freemium offering where developers can choose to take free challenges or upgrade to a subscription to take premium challenges and get access to the project design (Figma/Sketch) files. We’ve also recently soft-launched a Hiring Platform to help companies discover developers from within the Frontend Mentor community. It’s still very early days for it, though, so we’re not publicizing it too much at the moment.

We’re generating over $26K in monthly recurring revenue (MRR) at the moment and looking to grow that significantly with the introduction of the Hiring Platform.
