Au Revoir @Issuu, Hello @Conferize
I'm extremely proud of what Issuu has become. Yet I am a person who like to start things. To get my hands dirty, learn new skills and wear many hats. I knew a day would come where this Issuu thing would grow too big for me. And the past weeks working out of our completely refurbished 1,000 m² office made it pretty clear to me: It's awesome. And big!
Issuu is close to 50 M users & 4 B page views. A month! Time.com thinks were one of the 50 best websites in the world and we've twice been a SXSW finalist. But the best part for me was seeing the true impact we've had on real people. People who trusted us with their precious content and helped us redefine what reading online could be. Reading rocks and it's changing.
I know that my awesome co-founders and team will keep cultivating Issuu into everything it can be, and more. If you'd like to work with this killer team, you should totally join us.
It'll take me a while to stop saying 'us', 'we', and 'our' in relation to Issuu. But soon I'll have to because I'm founding a new startup called Conferize. We'll be looking for smart capital and exceptional developers (RoR, JavaScript/HTML/CSS)).
Departing for the Valley next week. Stay tuned.
