Hello from the Swiss mountains

The whole Sandbox Zurich team is currently working out of our mountain “office”. We have been here now since two days and found that the possibility to work together out of a completely different environment has been a great source of inspiration and has brought us a big step forward. Here are some quotes that people shared with me, about what has inspired them in the first two days:

Most start ups are naturally drawn to tools that allow them the ability to work remotely, regardless of whether they exercise the option regularly or not… even still setting up a virtual office wherever you happen to be with your laptop gets easier with preparation, practice, and commitment… and the Klosters days will help you test the later for sure.

One thing i learned from an old lady in the village: the cows go on vacation over the summer – to the mountains:). Sandboxer Eva Mohr.

Fabian is Sandbox co-founder, working these days on the long-term strategy of Sandbox and as part of that leading lots of inspiring discussions with team members and Sandboxers across the globe. Fabian was responsible to cook lunch today but found out that the shops actually close from 12 to 2pm…

At Sandbox we’re dreaming about being a totally mobile company. We all love traveling and we’ve talked a lot about not just having teams based in New York, London and Zurich, but to be constantly moving from city to city every few months. We are fortunate to know so many inspiring people allover the world that we find it hard to stay at one place for too long. And the nature of our global community allows us to work wherever we have a (fast) internet connection, electricity for our laptops and a voip phone.

Next week, we’ll be relocating for the first time. The whole Sandbox team in Zurich (together with Sandboxers Mike Radparvar and me visiting from New York and Eva Mohr from Maastricht) we’ll work out of my parent’s apartment in the Swiss mountains. It’s our first test to see how relocating as the whole team feels like. It’s not Rio de Janeiro yet. But the views are just as great
