Xu Jin co-founded startup Creative Fountain, which created mobile application FINDAPRO and its sister app IMAPRO as the "Airbnb" of freelancers. The 40-year-old father of two told The Business Times: "All this while, I have been interested to start my own business, but the opportunity was not there.
