01 / The challenge

These aren't just
numbers on a screen.

A big goal feels a little more possible when you can hold the next step in your hand.

01
I started with 1,000 pennies.
Every penny began in the first glass jar. A simple, physical reminder of the business I want to build.
02
A business joins Coduvo.
When a qualifying hosting account becomes active, I move one penny to the second jar. One business. One small win.
03
The goal is an empty jar.
When all 1,000 have moved, Coduvo has reached 1,000 active hosting customers. That's my finish line.

If a customer leaves, a penny moves back. Their Penny Number stays theirs forever.

02 / The people behind the pennies

Every copper penny represents a business that trusts Coduvo with its hosting. Every open space is a story still to come.

03 / A note from me

Hi, I'm David.

I've spent more than 23 years working in technology — developing websites, building applications, managing infrastructure, and helping businesses solve problems.

I've been fortunate to build a career doing work I genuinely enjoy. But I've always had another question in the back of my mind:

Could I take everything I've learned and build something successful of my own?

So I started Coduvo Dev Studio. Not because I'm trying to run away from something. I'm simply challenging myself to build something.

And I decided I needed a finish line. 1,000 active website hosting customers. Then I bought two glass jars and 1,000 pennies.

Read the rest of my story

Every time another business chooses Coduvo for its hosting, one penny moves from the first jar to the second. That business also receives its own permanent Penny Number here on the project.

I don't know exactly how long it will take. I don't know what challenges I'll run into along the way. But I'm going to document it.

One business. One penny. One step closer.

A place in the beginning

The Founding 100.

The first 100 businesses won't just be early customers. They'll always be the businesses that helped get this project off the ground.

A permanent Founding Penny designation. Your own number. A little piece of the project's history.
