We spoke to 3 Nomad alumni that started their own businesses. They shared their journey with us.

Attila Nagy – founder of WPKurzus (WPCourses) 

In 2013, Attila began his entrepreneurial journey as a result of his lack of technical web design and development skills. He wanted a high-quality website but didn’t know how to build one.

He came across WordPress, but found the tutorials available were sprawling. Even after months, he was only at an average level. This sparked his eureka moment. What if he could provide succinct WordPress courses to help people to build high-quality websites faster, cheaper, and better?

So he did and WPKurzus was founded in late 2015. In 2018 Atilla joined our Latin America program to accelerate the growth of his business.

Diego Olaya – founder of Utamu

Utamu is an ethical fashion brand that celebrates craftsmanship and supports children’s education. Utamu’s vision is to contribute to universal education.

They partner with Masicorp, a results-driven organisation that is tackling the low level of literacy in Masiphumelele, a community in South Africa where more than 40,000 people live disadvantaged and poor by the legacy of apartheid.

For every jacket or tunic sold, you sponsor 3 months of English and Maths class for a child at Ukhanyo Primary School in Masiphumelele.
