Peter founded yolmo.asia in 2013 during his masters degree when living in Shanghai. The platform offered reviews of Chinese language schools in China. Together with a team of 3 others Peter acquired multiple schools within a few weeks as customers. However, the project was abandoned when Peter left Shanghai to continue his degree in San Francisco.

This was also Peters first touch point with digital marketing and web development. After joining McKinsey Peter had to shut down the website due to employer restrictions.
