Happy to finally share what
@eikedrescher
and I have been working on.
We believe the age of apps has reached its peak.
The future of computing will be about intelligently connecting all the things in your life.
This is what we’re working towards.
✨
The Async-First future:
🗺 Live and work from anywhere; optimize for life quality
🧠 By default, do deep work in large chunks of time
🛑 Stop working when you are low energy
🥇 Have the flexibility to prioritize family or hobbies
🤝 Hire and work with the best in the world

When we started with
@joinbento
there was one key go-to-market challenge:
⚡️ Super crowded market
Meaning, lots of existing tools that all look the same AND do the same.
The question we had to answer:
How do we cut through the noise?
Here's how we went about it 🧵👇🏼
Wow, we

I am planning to do a little content piece about the launch and our learnings.
Do you have any specific questions for us? Would love to make it as valuable as possible 🙏🙏

I have decided to leave my beloved Opi-family in the end of June and get back to explorer mode, diving into the unknown! 🦋 1/6
So happy about our successful ‚Bento Explore’ launch this week ✨🥹🙏🏻
Even happier to see all these happy Bento users. Makes my heart full.

and taking a break I simply don’t get tired of creating 🪄
I’ve decided to join the amazing founders of
@CreatorSpaceHQ

Was such an immense pleasure hosting our office warming and product hunt launch party last night 🥰🙌🏼 surrounded by our amazing
@joinbento
community and friends - couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate 🎉🎉🎉
Can’t tag everyone, so just a few 🫶🏻
Been a huge Anime and Japan fan ever since a little child. I literally had ALL the
@Pokemon
games there are, Sailor Moon bed sheets aaand posters on the wall, hahaha😅
… and now, I’m finally here.
Childhood dream came true 🥹💭🙏🏻
We are super excited to announce our 1.2M€ pre-seed funding led by

MORE ON THE ROUND 👇🏻
exactly one year ago
@joinbento
launched on product hunt 🥹 what a riiiiiide!
i'm currently writing about the behind-the-scenes of launching & growing Bento, let’s call it “behind the grid”.
subscribe to not miss it. link in bio!
I strongly believe in the fact that company culture doesn’t need an office. What we all need is more context for each other, more empathy & co-creating a strong team identity.
So go ahead and create shared experiences & stories, don‘t just force people to be in the same room.
Wow! Look at this map! 🤩
This is how distributed the
@join_remi
users currently are. And we are just getting started... 🔥🔥
We are truly making
#remotework
more human and connected 🌍👫
Something I learned early in my career:
If you truly want it, go get it.
This cold message back in July 2022 is how I landed my job at
@joinbento
without them actually hiring 👇🏼✉️
Not lying, there was also a bit of serendipity involved ✨

Whoa! 2000 Follower 🔥 Danke für diesen fulminanten Start ins Wochenende! Freue mich auch immer sehr, mit euch zu fachsimpeln, zu philosophieren und Wissen zu teilen. Mehr davon!

This was a pretty shitty year for me in many ways.
But right now it feels like finally some important pieces are falling into place.
So I’m just very thankful that I am ending the year on a positive note.
😌✨
I‘m currently co creating our FAQ with our
@joinbento
community 🥹🥹💜
Users also answer questions for other users and are super helpful, so we don’t need to do it.
I mean, is this community even real? 😍

I wonder when people finally stop thinking that founders who can’t code can’t successfully build a tech company.
To all of you: the change is already here. And the
#nocode
revolution will prove you wrong.
I think my fav things in Japan right after the incredible Mount Fuji views 🗻, the best ramen I’ve ever eaten 🍜 and insanely fast and reliable trains…
… are heated toilet seats!!! 🚽🙉
SO nice!!! hahaha!
How come we don’t have those in Europe? Clearly missing out!
haha I'm sooo proud of this! 😁✌🏻

There's something really great about working in a fast growing company such as
@OpinaryDE
: It's having real impact on the industry while knowing your work matters. It's taking up responsibility from the start & therefore a very enriching experience for your personal growth. 📈💯
Bento is about helping you show your creativity and ingenuity! ✨
We're launching 3 rich widgets to help you do that. 🔥😍🔥

you dislike the celebration of your own person, the word ‚elite’ and standing in the center of attention: but this one is well deserved and celebration is desperately needed! 🥳💃🏻
