I am a developer from the Netherlands. I have experience in different sectors. I worked as a CTO at a fast growing Dutch startup, but traded that for working as a freelancer. Now I work mainly with Laravel. I like to start new projects, but finish them less. On my blog I share (irregularly) stories about things I learned, or things I screwed up. ## Responses 8 Markdown supported · ⌘↵ to post [Eleftheria Batsou](https://hashnode.com/@eleftheriabatsou) [Jan 10, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/how-i-bought-a-company-as-a-21-year-old/61d8d20554826227af47fb46/comment/61dc09a2cda0d0294b69a6d5) Congratulations!

I guess that you both had to do a lot of paperwork. [Robin Martijn](https://hashnode.com/@RobinMartijn) [Jan 9, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/how-i-bought-a-company-as-a-21-year-old/61d8d20554826227af47fb46/comment/61db2ebc3ce4b2377adfdc39#reply-61db6097cda0d0294b6990ca) Hey David! Thanks! Actually, there was little paperwork. It helped that we were in the same country, but we didn't transfer the company itself, but everything it owned. I already had another company which I used to take over the assets.

I learned a lot from this. Thanks for sharing [Robin Martijn](https://hashnode.com/@RobinMartijn). I have a question though, will Cronly be open-sourced? Will be cool to contribute to its growth. 🌟 [Robin Martijn](https://hashnode.com/@RobinMartijn) [Jan 9, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/how-i-bought-a-company-as-a-21-year-old/61d8d20554826227af47fb46/comment/61db28cbcda0d0294b698c46#reply-61db60e83ce4b2377adfdfd5) Hi Eke! Thanks for your support! Glad that the post could help you. I do not plan on open sourcing Cronly as of now, but there's an amazing competitor (Healthchecks.io) which is opensourced. If you're interested in contributing to a product like this, you could have a look there! That company is also a one-man show and built in public.

I have been serving in multiple tech companies but didn't get a chance to launch my own company till 2018. Now, I am having my own companny " [Two Runs](https://www.tworuns.com/) " and a " [tech blog](https://www.techlogins.com/) ". These both are helping me to get the success. Your article is a big motivations for start ups.
