It’s pretty official now, so I guess this is the right time to come out, even though I still have to sign the contract. I’ll be spending the summer in Manchester, working for CANDDI. Tim Langley, the CEO, was one of the speakers at the GreatPreneurs conference, which I had organised last year. He offered me a job to design and build their first iOS and Android apps.

CANDDI is a small (5 employees) Manchester based startup, which, as they say , is “Your secret weapon for growth – Know your customers. Convert new business. Never miss a hot lead.” The company is almost six years old and it has several hundred costumers.

Although I had other offers over the past month, I decided to choose CANDDI for the following reasons:

• They are 5 people
• They are based in Manchester
• I have known them for the past two years
• Tim approached me twice
• He bought me drinks
• They are paying me (I don’t think I am allowed to say how much ;), but it’s remarkable to see 5 people making a decent amount of money).
• Their office is kinda startup/messy style
• I have got my own project
• I am going to learn what being part of a startup means

I’ll update you over the summer. In the next weeks, I’ll also publish a detailed post about my third year project.

ps: I am working on another startup.
