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! #buildinpublic

I always feel proud when I check events timeline of @veertly 🥹 Seeing 600+ people concurrently in the same event for more than 8h is rewarding. This was an event yesterday! Such a great story we built that is now going to continue with a bigger brand 🥲

Meanwhile on @veertly, nearly 1000 people in different events at the same time!
