Hi, I'm Alex
I'm a software developer living near London in England. I founded Listmark last year, and am trying my hand at another bootstrapped startup with Loves You Lots.
I'd love to hear from you – please get in touch here.
Listmark
I set up Listmark last year selling postcode and settlement databases for the UK and Canada. The site itself is a work-in-progress while I migrate the products across from their own standalone websites.

A cross between Pinterest and a year-long valentines card, Loves You Lots is a service that lets people create cute customised love messages for their other half. I'm aiming to get it up and running properly in early 2013.
