It’s called a “Nozbe Reunion.” The last one took place in September 2015. That’s why every half a year we meet in person. You want to go out and “grab a cold one” with them. If you work with someone for a longer period of time through digital tools, on a human level you want to see them in person. The fact that we don’t work in one office makes us miss each other. I don’t hire friends… though I feel like everyone on my team has grown to become a great friend of mine through our work on Nozbe. We are great together… even though we’re not really together in the same physical place.Īnd of course, we need to be really good (competent) at what we do to make it all work. Thanks to this, we feel like we’re really making great things happen as a team.
PROJECT PLAN FOR BUILDING A HOUSE NOZBE HOW TO
We just know how to work with one another: We have a “process” that helps us do great things together Without unnecessary meetings and interruptions of a traditional office. We get to do great things without being sick of seeing each other every day in an office. And we feel we work effectively together. This way, we are not tired of each other. We interact with each other by chatting on Slack, talking via Skype when needed and of course by delegating and commenting on tasks in Nozbe. We have a great team, because we don’t see each other every day. Not even my father, who’s the Chief Financial Officer. We do have an official address in my home town but nobody goes there. And we have an amazing team, here’s why: 1. Today we’re 20+ core team and 10+ contractors working on Nozbe. A year later, I hired a support person, then another one… and as Nozbe grew, I kept hiring. Today he’s still with me and he’s the CTO.

PROJECT PLAN FOR BUILDING A HOUSE NOZBE FULL
I decided to go full time with Nozbe a year after the launch - in Spring of 2008, and then I hired my first developer. I’d start working on Nozbe after my “day work” - between 4 pm and 9 pm. That’s right, for the first year Nozbe wasn’t my full-time project! I still had my day job as an “Internet Marketing Consultant” for my past customers. Originally posted on my personal blog From a part-time one-man-shop to a team of 30+ people… And for the rest of 2007, I was doing all of that. When I launched premium plans, I was the one to write the payment system and automate accepting money. I did all the coding in Javascript+PHP+MySQL, I wrote the website copy, I designed most of the graphics… and I was the one responding to emails in case someone actually tried it and had a question. I wrote this web application to help me get things done and decided to show it to the world. Exactly 9 years ago today, I launched my productivity startup: Nozbe.
