Hey there,

With things improving rapidly in The Netherlands, we felt it was time to shift our focus from being in survival mode to getting into building again. As we’re approaching the last stage of rebranding our studio, we’ve been focused on shaping and defining our public building thesis (similar to an investment thesis, but tailored to startup studios; on building new ventures). Just like we’ve gotten to the essence of our startup studio for our rebranding, we’re also trying to define the core of the things we’ve built thus far, combined with the things we aspire to still make. This led to a new version of our manifesto which we are excited to preview to you.

Influentials. As we’re rounding up our open marketplace access in response to COVID-19, we look ahead on the many great the outputs. Since our announcement in April, a lot of new and existing customers joined the platform and created dozens of amazing campaigns. While it’s too early to draw up conclusions, it seems the free access to the platform and marketplace was received very well by our community. We’ve also introduced a new Head of Growth to the Influentials team who will bring the platform into new heights.

Obeyo. We’re noticing the interest in Obeyo is ramping up. With ongoing inquiries from relevant parties, we open up more and more conversations with real estate developers and property managers in the world of co-living. If you know people who are similarly looking into the future of residential, feel free to send them our way.

Thanks for reading!

Enjoy the sunny weather,

Managing Director at Builders
