Coingecko is the world largest independent cryptocurrency data aggregator with over 150 million page views per month. Malaysian Founders, Bobby Ong and TM Lee, built the business as a side-hustle before venturing into it full-time. The most impressive thing about this is that they built this without a single cent from venture capital - while maintaining a great culture as seen by their 4.6 Stars Glassdoor Rating and 100% CEO approval.
