Awesomic is an American startup that operates as a marketplace, its online platform allows businesses to find designers, engineers, marketing managers, and other remote professionals without interviews for a fixed price.[1] The company was founded in 2020 by Roman Sevast and Stacy Pavlyshyna and is headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States.[2]

History

Awesomic was founded in 2020 by Stacy Pavlyshyna and Roman Sevast.[3][2] The first version of a web platform for finding web designers, originally called Pizdata was launched in 2019[4][5][2] and in July 2020, Pizdata rebranded as Awesomic.[6] The company initially focused on connecting businesses with designers and later expanded to include engineers, marketing managers, and other remote specialists.[7][8]

In August 2020, the company raised a pre-seed round from European investors. The financial details of the deal have not been disclosed, but as Awesomic’s CEO, Roman Sevast, said, it was a six-figure amount.[9]

In 2021, the startup was selected for the summer accelerator program at Y Combinator and received an investment of $125,000.[10][11] Later that year, Awesomic raised a $2 million investment in a seed round, with participation from Y Combinator, Flyer One Ventures, SID Venture Partners, 10x Value Partners, and Pretiosum, alongside angel investors such as Ragnar Sass (Pipedrive), James Park (Fitbit), and John Graham (Humble Bundle).[12][13][14][15] That year Awesomic was named the Fastest Growing Startup in Ukraine and its founders was listed in Forbes 30 under 30.[16][17]

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Awesomic continued operations, maintaining service despite infrastructure disruptions by using generators and Starlink terminals.[18][19] In August 2022, Awesomic became one of the 16 startups that received financial assistance as part of the $5 million Google for Startups Ukraine Support Fund initiative and received equity-free financing.[20] Also in 2022, Awesomic was among the startups representing Ukraine at the Web Summit 2022 in Lisbon[21] and won a Red Dot Award in the Brands and Communication Design category.[22][23]

In March 2022, the company raised $800,000 in funding. The investment was provided by Pioneer Fund, Flyer One Ventures, Red Rooster Ventures, with Y Combinator managing director Michael Seibel, and Y Combinator group partner Jared Friedman.[24][25]

In 2024, the company opened an office in San Francisco.[26]

On January 24, 2025, OpenAI launched an AI agent called Operator, designed to control computers and perform tasks. Awesomic had previously presented a similar concept, named GPT-a (for "assistant"), to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in the fall of 2024.[27][28]

Operations

Awesomic platform automatically connects businesses with designers, engineers, marketing managers, and other specialists, allowing to get final results within 24 hours. Users create a task in Awesomic’s mobile app, and then the algorithm analyzes the task and chooses a specialist with suitable skills and experience to accomplish it.[29] The platform operates on a subscription-based model and provides access to services, including UI/UX design, branding, design, and development. Clients can submit tasks, which are then assigned to professionals based on project requirements. It also has an option of full-time collaboration with a professional. Clients receive updates on the status of assigned tasks daily during the working week.[30]

Awesomic completed over 10,000 projects for 1,500+ clients, including Reface, Ciklum, and approximately 200 Y Combinator alumni.[31][32][33]
