“Living life is fun and we’ve just begun…”

The Moment.Us family officially grew by three members this week, as they added Sarah Krug, Maksim Fedotov and Toni Barta to their team. They join co-founder Andrew Ko,  systems architect Mihai Ionescu, and Chief Technology Officer David Ko at their current HQ in TechHub Manchester.The three new members are from the University of Manchester, with Maksim and Toni being computer science students. Their job will be making sure the Moment.Us platform is smarter than everything else out there, so no pressure guys. Sarah is in the midst of her MBA degree, so she’s an expert at making sure the team have enough money in the bank to pay the bills, as everyone needs a working kettle. And in true Moment.Us style, the soundtrack to this post is “We Are Family” by Sister Sledge.

Moment.Us adds 3 new people to their team

Moment.Us have added three new talented people to their team. Andrew Ko, the CEO and co-founder of Moment.Us, met two of the new recruits from our Brand and Recruitment Day we hosted at TechHub Manchester.

I caught up with Andrew and asked him about Manchester, startups, and new talent. Here's what he had to say.

"Having been living in Manchester for the past three years, I've had a lot of time to chat with established developers and university students alike and the one common thread I've noticed is that they all have that drive to want to work for an exciting startup, especially one that's located here in the Northwest. And that's one of the biggest reasons why we want to base our headquarters here because its very rare to have such an abundance of talent located right at your doorstep via three top universities and MediaCity UK.  The university factor should not be overlooked as that is the best source for talented individuals who are hungry to learn, which is the biggest thing we look for when recruiting for Moment.Us.  It's not about what you know now, but what you want to know tomorrow and the steps you're wiling to take to learn it.  That's why Manchester is such a great city to be based in."
