Aytekin Tank accidentally started his first business when he wrote a piece of open-source software and it became quite successful. For a few years he worked on it early mornings, evenings, and weekends while working his full-time job – which he eventually walked away from.

Intrigued by the first success, he set out to think of a product more people would want to use. In 2006, he found what he was looking in web forms -- and he set out to build what is now JotForm.

Now in its 12th year of business, JotForm has amassed a team of nearly 100 people and 4,000,000 active users.

  • Why you do not need to be a risk taker to become an entrepreneur
  • The value of of setting yearly strategic goals
