One of the leading technology companies behind it is Ruby Labs (RL). It operates subscription-based consumer products in the self-help and wellness market, Currently, it has more than 100 employees, including over 20 nationalities.
The first consumer product that brought RL to where it is now is Hint. Its mission is to help people understand themselves better through astrology. Hint allowed the company to scale and again release a new product, which also became a hit.
Following the success of Hint, RL launched Able, which provides knowledge and tools on how to reach one’s weight goal and live a healthy lifestyle. Specifically, it allows its users to count and budget their calorie intake, track their activity engagement, and even gives them access to one-on-one health coaching. These were started by the self-made entrepreneur Roman Taranov. From a young age, he already had the drive to attain success in life, and he wanted to achieve it through a career in technology. Moreover, he was mesmerized by the potential of the industry to traverse all boundaries and its ability to connect people worldwide. This is also why he decided to pursue a career in technology and left law school.
While Roman values education, he believed that continuing college wouldn’t give him the freedom to pursue what he’s genuinely passionate about. He was 18 when he left school to travel around the world while working in the tech industry. Roman started with mobile advertisements and a website brokerage agency with a team of five. This gave him the experience to start stepping up his game.
It was then that he founded the global m-payment service provider RGK Mobile at the age of 20. He eventually shut down the company in 2018 and invested in what is now Ruby Labs. This time, he was more skilled in development, marketing, and team building, and he successfully made the company profitable very quickly.
RL allowed Roman to make his passion and ideas come to life and impact many people’s lives. He plans to launch another application in the future, although the details about it have yet to be released to the public. However, many know that it will be another innovation that will empower people to make self-care their way of life.
