Algora helped Firecrawl hire Gergő Móricz, who became the #1 contributor in their 185k+ star repo.

Gergő joined the team as a high school student while Firecrawl was still a prototype.

“We met Gergő through Algora and couldn't be happier. He's been working with us for two years now and he's a core member of our team.”

Over two years Gergő worked on infrastructure, scaling, reliability, APIs, SDKs, security, new features, monitoring and operational support, shipping 1,763 commits in the process.

During his tenure Firecrawl went from early product-market fit to 1M+ developers, 150,000 companies, 5B+ requests served and multi-million ARR growth.

Caleb Peffer on X: Last week one of our best engineers graduated high school in Hungary. Congrats Mogery! The young savant archetype is real. Exceptional talent sometimes doesn't need a degree or even a diploma

Today Firecrawl is used by 150,000 companies including Shopify, Lovable and Apple, and at 20 years old Gergő is a Member of Technical Staff.

Congrats Firecrawl on your $75M Series B and launching Alexandria!
