About this listen
Iza tells how she and her husband Simo created several apps that failed before they found success with Talking Tom. They're also the subject of a new book called ‘7 Unicorn Drive: From Startup to a Billion Dollar Sale in 7 Years’.
As Bloomberg news put it "Samo and Iza Login were Slovenian high school sweethearts who studied computer science in college and then decided, in 2009, to get into the business of apps. Steve Jobs had introduced the Apple App Store the year before, and it was easy to believe that an overnight fortune was just an eccentric idea away. With $250,000 they’d saved while working for local IT companies, the Logins—who legally changed their surname to sound techy—started a company called Outfit7."
The Logins are the first married couple in the world to reach this level of accomplishment in business. In 2013 they created a foundation to support sustainable organic large-scale farming to brain neural research centers for tastier plant-based food, all in an effort to battle climate change.
