Zooelon

A founder shaped at the intersection of media and IT: a creative who has taken part in more than 20 IT projects and more than 500 in the media world. He is building Zooelon not alone but with a team he has worked with for 2 years - for the last 5 months the project has been developed at full strength.

Experience

The founder's path is not the classic developer's path - he comes from the intersection of media and IT projects: he has taken part in more than 500 media projects and more than 20 IT projects. At Zooelon he runs product, design, marketing and business development together with his team.

Team

A four-person core has worked together for 2 years:

• Islomov Muhammadjon - Product Owner, has worked as a product manager at Sharh, Hissa, in retail and in many other areas
• Abduvali Murodullayev - Backend Engineer, previously at UIC Group
• Aydos Sankibaev - Frontend Team Lead, has taken part in more than 40 projects and supported startups; building the project's structure is his responsibility

Alongside the team, experienced outsourced developers also work on technical development.

Achievements

• Made the top 5 out of the 15 projects that reached the final of the "Yoshlar tashabbusi" (2026) competition
• MVP launched: ~500 users gathered within 5 months
• Legal entity registered

Why this project

In the team's own words: "For us this is not just a startup but a long-standing goal and a project of great responsibility."

So far the project has been built on bootstrapping: monthly spend of ~$800-1,000 (server, API, marketing, outsourced developers) is covered from their own funds, and the founders draw no salary. In other words, the team has managed to bring the product to market and gather the first 500 users without outside investment.
