Thepresence
The business, the turning points, and the decisions behind them.
01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Thepresence was a Russian no-code website-builder project by solo founder Miloslav Voloskov. Inspired by the iOS app Launchpad, it aimed to offer a more modern and unconventional take on drag-and-drop website builders. The venture never got past the idea stage — it was shut down in 2018, the same year it started, before it could take off.
02 / Thepresence FAILURE REASONS
Failure reasons
The founder said depression prevented him from continuing development and completing the product. The project ended before launch. This is his own account of an inability to continue the work, not evidence that customers rejected the product or that it ran out of capital.
