Founder story
Founded in 2019 by Preetam Nath and Sankalp Jonna in Bengaluru, India. The founders realized that e-commerce in emerging markets happened on WhatsApp, yet Shopify lacked a good integration. They built SuperLemon as a side project, growing it to thousands of customers and $25k+ MRR in under a year while staying completely bootstrapped.
