Andrea's arrival is good news for all of you thing users out there, as our new Marketing and Sales intern, she'll be working toward getting more people to know and use thing, which will in turn make your life as a facilitator easier.

This is Jeremias

Being a sports man he is used to work towards ambitious goals and that’s what we will do together in the coming months.

Cyberlab Prelab - one week of pure startup focus

As a startup you need to learn and start a lot of things at once: your value proposition, lean startup methods, user testing, business models, finances, legal topics, prototyping, UX/UI testing, pitches. The local startup accelerator CyberLab did a kind of a one week bootcamp end of June.

Moving to CyberLab

As we moved into February we also moved offices. Since beginning of the month we are part of the CyberLab Startup Accelerator here in Karlsruhe. Interestingly this is located in the Höpfner brewery areal, so we’ve moved from brewery to brewery 🍻.

We will join CyberLab!

At thing we believe that we need external mentoring and coaching as well as external funding to help making it successful. For an early startup like us joining an startup accelerator program is a next step along that direction.

Kicking off MMP development

Right after the PreLab we turned into our next adventure. The first phase of thing was about coming together as founders, doing a first series of user interviews to better shape our product and doing important technical spikes to test feasibility.

thing.online works with - sli.do

We love sli.do, because it provides a clear user interface, has plenty of different poll types and their free plan is sufficient for smaller meetings with up-to 3 polls.

Some thing new - It’s about time

thing Flow just became a lot more valuable. With flow session timer, more context and initial facilitator tools your workshops can be next level from today.

Privacy and Security. Do you care?

Topics like data protection, privacy and GDPR are topics you and your organizations care about when making purchase decisions.

When Listening Becomes Important

Today’s video conferencing tools give everyone a voice (and a moving image) in online meetings. Even more, in spatial chat tools like thing.online participants even have the autonomy to form conversations on their own.
