Bookmark Profile

“Bookmark is the world’s first and fastest AI-powered website builder and ecommerce solution. We are a one-stop solution for any entrepreneur or professional looking to build and grow their online presence.”

“We believe that every small business owner out there has an idea that they want to bring to the world, and we are here to help them reach the success they deserve. Instead of using old boring website templates, we built a cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence Design Assistant (or AiDA for short). After answering a few questions, simply sit back and watch as AiDA builds a unique website in front of your eyes!”

“Our founders have personally funded $2.5 million, we have secured an angel round of investments at $400,000, and we also have a strategic investment valued at $2.5 million.”

“A small team of less than 30 members, ranging from talented programmers, marketers, designers, entrepreneurs, and leaders alike. We also have a strategic partnership with Moneris, a payment processing company led by two of Canada’s biggest banks, RBC and BMO.”

“After moving on from my first company, I knew that my journey was far from over. I wanted to introduce an idea to the world that would help entrepreneurs, owners, and fellow go-getters like me in the process of growing their own business. That’s when I founded and established Bookmark, the world’s first and fastest AI-powered website builder.

As CEO and founder of Bookmark, I am very passionate about giving everybody (not just the tech-savvy) the ability to build and grow an online presence. As we’ve all seen before, making a website can be a daunting, expensive, and a downright annoying process at times. At Bookmark, our team is dedicated to reforming the future of web design as we introduce AiDA, our Artificial Intelligent Design Assistant. Now, anybody can have a website, no matter their skill set or past experience.” — David

“At one point in my past company, I became a domain enthusiast and purchased Bookmark.com as an investment. At first, I tried to start a bookmarking service as a side project in 2009. That project didn’t pan out as planned but decided to hold onto the domain anyway. So when I started working on a website builder in 2014, I instantly thought Bookmark.com would be perfect for the project as a brandable name that was easy to remember.

Bookmark is less about a book placeholder and more about making your mark in the digital world. Honestly, I did not consider any others. It was one of the best and easiest decisions I have ever made.” — David

"Every startup founder faces roadblocks and obstacles when launching. These include, but are not limited to: fundraising, self-doubt, doubt from peers, saturated industry competition, fear of risk-taking, comfort of past jobs, and so much more.

To get over these issues, you must always believe in yourself and your vision, remind yourself of your goals, and practice the idea of resilience and confidence. No one can build your business but you.” — Nicole

“I’ve been an entrepreneur my entire life. From the stereotypical paper-route first job, all the way to creating my first company at 22 in my parents' basement and growing it to $60 million in revenue with a 55-person team.” — David 

“Growing up, my Dad (the ultimate hustler) sparked my ambition at an early age. After spending all of my high-school years studying in Seoul, South Korea, I continued traveling and growing my global perspective. Soon after, I had the opportunity to work in many fields, mostly marketing, operations, and retail management. Conventional or unconventional, large or small, I’m grateful to have worked for some great companies and, more importantly, with some amazing people.” — Nicole

“Our solutions and technology is centered around one thing: giving everyone access to the tools needed to start, build, and grow a successful online presence, no matter their past design or code skill/experience. Because of this, this means our target market is mainly small businesses and those alike of professional individuals who want to create an online store or establish an online identity for their company/professional services. We established this market through various marketing strategies, strategic partnerships, and years of hard work from our team.” — David

“Aside from obviously partaking in regular marketing strategies, such as social media promotion, email campaigns, blog articles, etc — we have established many strategic partnerships with multiple different companies, which has also given us an edge to branch out and introduce our solutions to many different potential users. Early on in Bookmark’s journey, we partnered with Moneris, a payment processing solution created by two of Canada’s largest banks, RBC and BMO. Together, we have been able to provide thousands of small to medium businesses with the solutions they need to succeed online, and we continue to partner with more and more amazing companies as we grow larger each and every day.” — Nicole
