I am feeling nostalgic 🥲
Today we sent out our last email to all our customers at @veertly...
My memories are revisiting many of these 4 years of adventure:
- The first lines of code back in 2019
- The moment @AlexanderSpahn joined me on this journey
- The decision to put all in when Covid stopped the world in March 2020
- The first event with 100+ people (what a disaster!)
- The first sale in the Summer of 2020
- The incorporation in October 2020
- The first white-label customers
- The first call with Joschka
- The first hires
- The first popup office
- The seed round in 2021 (thank you for your trust in our project)
- The big events with more than 5k people
- The growth of our team
- The launch and failure of Gomada
- The challenging downturn of the virtual events industry
- The hard decisions we had to make
- The great partnerships with our customers
- The last popup-office
- The incredible culture we created (not sure I will ever be able to recreate it...)
- The fantastic engineering team I had (I hope to bring you back to my new projects!)
- The friends I made
- The negotiations for the sale
- The day of the sale signature
- And the moment I transferred the Github repo to Swisscom
This baby that I started from a simple line of code and gave a strange name will now continue to grow under a bigger structure 😊
I couldn't be prouder of all this journey and story. These were the best professional years of my life! 🥹
My biggest learning from this journey: focus on the people around you, that's what makes a great journey!
Once entrepreneur, entrepreneur forever. 🚀
When I built Veertly, I was focused too much on the inside, so from now on, I want to be more open to the external world.
I am now building my next ventures in public!
