In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Jimmy Jacobson, CTO of Codingscape.
Jimmy discovered programming through his father's university lab computer, unaware it could be a career. He later pursued computer science, freelancing while working at Overstock and Zappos. Zappos’ culture encouraged risk-taking, fueling his entrepreneurial drive. He co-founded Wedgies.com, a social media polling tool with clients like The Wall Street Journal and the White House. Despite its success, venture capital pressures led to its acquisition by Match.com, shaping his approach to future ventures.
After the sale, Jimmy and his partners founded Codingscape, applying lessons from "Built to Sell". They prioritized sustainable growth by building strong client relationships instead of chasing every opportunity. Rather than competing in crowded proposals, they focused on education, networking, and thought leadership. This strategy keeps Codingscape top of mind when clients need expert solutions.
Join Jimmy as he shares how adaptability, strategic growth, and strong relationships fueled his journey from freelance developer to thriving entrepreneur in this episode of The First Customer!
