Launched in May 2013, Jumpido is the brainchild of Kiril Rusev, Nikola Kosev and Dilyan Rusev - founders of Nimero, a successful company in the educational sector.
Their dream - to deliver exceptional educational experiences to students across the world. After just two weeks in business, they received investment from LAUNCHub, a seed and acceleration fund located in Sofia, Bulgaria. This allowed the Jumpido dream to become a reality.
Kiril graduated with a master's degree in Management from the University of Leicester, United Kingdom. He has a strong technical background with over five years' experience in commercial software development. Kiril has also been working as the CEO of Nimero for the last 4 years, and is an active entrepreneur.
Nikola graduated with a master's degree in Computer Science from Sofia University, Bulgaria. He has ten years' working experience as a software engineer and a passion for all things digital. As Jumpido's CTO, Nikola is in charge of creating fun and engaging user experiences.
Dilyan graduated with a master's degree in Software Engineering from the University of St. Andrews, United Kingdom. Dilyan has developed great technical expertise working for Nimero and Telerik. As lead developer at Jumpido, it's Dilyan’s job to bring exciting ideas to life!
At Jumpido, we deliver exceptional educational experiences to children across the world. With the help of cutting-edge technology like Kinect, it's our mission to challenge the status quo in education. But to do that, we need the brightest and most innovative minds on board.
That's why we’re constantly searching for exceptional talent. Do you have what it takes to help change education?
