In a world where everything is going fast and the definition of networking is sharing business cards at conferences and adding people on LinkedIn, we value the deep, meaningful relation in the intersection between professional relation and friendship. We believe that the best relations can be created when living, working and exploring intensely together for a short while.

It’s important where you travel, but even more important is who you do it with.

In 2012, Nikolaj – our founder – moved from Denmark to China, realized that it was much more difficult to stay connected to a community when moving to another country. To still be a part of the danish startup community and to keep investing in his own network, he spontaneously decided to arrange a work trip to Spain, inviting anyone who was willing to join.

The idea was to get 20 people together at an old, restored wine farm where we would install flying internet. An hour after the idea was born a blog post about the concept was live and the post quickly got a life on its own. Within a week 20 people had signed up and paid $900 to join the week.

With no experience in events and no experience in doing events abroad, it was an interesting project to make it all come true in a rural part of Spain, making food for 20 people, having great internet, facilitating sessions and coordinating everything. With the help of a few friends an very little sleep for a week, the idea of creating real, deep and meaningful relations by living and working intensively together for a week, was a reality.
