Clientrol interview, see them soon at the Web Summit

Who are you, what’s your back ground? Where you are from?

Clientrol was founded by Marc Nixon from Dublin, Ireland. Marc has worked as a freelance designer for over 15 years and found a gap in the market for a product that will manage support, projects and clients. He wanted to create an application that freelancers could use on a daily basis to manage their day. The Cliental team now includes Kayla Rowen and Michal Kuta.

Why are you planning to come to the Summit / what do you hope to get out of it?

We won a startup placement booth and will be exhibiting at it, we would hope to gain more awareness and interest for the product.

Is there anyone in particular you’d really like to meet at the summit?

The Web Summit is filled with influential speakers, it’s hard to just pick one!

What are you working on?

Clientrol is a Support, Project & Client Management application created for freelancers and professionals. It helps them organise their day and get paid for every minute they work.

What is awesome about it?

The 2 biggest challenges facing freelancers or small business are 1) Getting paid for small jobs and tasks and 2) Communications between client and freelancer. Cliental solves these 2 issues.
