Energy!
Posted by Rene Jansen
Well, to start simple: I experience a kind of overflow of energy these days!Well Rene, you might ask, I haven't read many posts from you over the last month, so what's the excitement all about? Right, that's true, so let's bring you up to speed again and give you a short update of the last few weeks.
In December lot of things happened. Until then we were working for my holding company, but since December we are officially a company dedicated to bring web2.0 to the business world in the Netherlands (and afterwards to the whole world of course ;) But, just a few days before we went to sign all the official papers for starting this company, we realised that we had to change our name. bPerform simply wasn't the best name for us. We have a "board of inspiration" and they suggested us to reconsider our name. Well, so we did. Since December last year we are called: Winkwaves.
Sounds good, right? Wanna know what the name means? Just check our homepage at http://winkwaves.com...
Then, we benefit from raising the interest of an investor. Lovely, since this enabled kick starting our activities. Mark and Hans are since January 1st officially working for Winkwaves (and of course, so am I since we officially launched Winkwaves...).
So, we needed an office space to work from. Working from Hans apartment, Mark's house and my house simply didn't work anymore for full time work. So, we found a very interesting office space in the former Cabellero Factory in The Hague. Since they are still in reconstruction phase, we found a temporary office next to the prestigious Malieveld in Den Haag, a beautiful old style Dutch "herenhuis" from our glory years (that is around 1600, remember the "VOC", when we, yes "we" discovered America and founded New York... Interesting twist of history right ;) Anyway, that's where we will be based until March 10th, when we will get the keys of our own brand new office!
But, that ain't everything: we are in the final beta stage of our first web 2.0 service, that will bring web 2.0 to the Dutch business market. We will send out our press release next week, and in a few weeks we will present it to you! It is really exciting to realise that we might indeed be the first agency that brings web 2.0 to the business market in the Netherlands...
So, if you read between the lines you might realise why we are so excited these days!
Will keep you posted...
