Awesome + Cosmic

In the heart of Ukraine, Roman and Stacy, Awesomic’s founders, were algorithmically matched on a date. They connected over the desire to build, to create.

After launching three companies and struggling to consistently find talent who can design and create high-quality work, they saw an opportunity. This opportunity turned into Awesomic.

With creative and unorthodox methods, from launching product hunts, hosting hackathons, taking on loans, and rebranding, Awesomic was launched in 2020 and made profitable before receiving any investments.

Sometime after, Roman and Stacy got accepted into the Y Combinator program and raised $2M+ in December 2021 for Awesomic. They had built a multi-million dollar business, recognized as one of Ukraine's fastest-growing startups.

Despite the difficulties of growing a startup, Awesomic was finding success. In February 2022, a shocking challenge presented itself: Russia invaded Ukraine, turning all plans upside down. The world kept moving; the competitors didn't stop, and Awesomic couldn't either.

The whole team kept working hard. A laptop, internet connection, and sheer willpower were all they needed. Stacy and Roman were able to relocate all of Awesomic's 100+ contractors and employees to safe areas by the end of March 2022. Awesomic talent powered through the chaos and delivered on our client’s tasks.

The company continued to grow, and in 2024, Awesomic opened an office in the U.S. and has already helped 4,000+ companies complete 14,000+ tasks, a testament to the team's resilience, determination, and commitment.
