Idle’s CEO is Matteo Pandolfi, and according to his LinkedIn profile, the project was co-founded during a ConsenSys hackathon. He has described his role at the company as “everything but code” — meaning that he is tasked with establishing the platform’s vision for the future, recruiting new talent and leading strategic sales.
In an interview with BitCompare, he explained that one of the most powerful lessons he’s learned since starting the company is that there’s little point in attempting to build a perfect product the first time round — instead, it’s better to make improvements along the way that are informed by feedback from users.
Pandolfi’s fellow co-founder at Idle is William Bergamo, who serves as the company’s chief technical officer.
