Hi friends,

We're getting ready to build the next big thing in the real estate market and seek extraordinary individuals who want to be part of our next founding moment. We're hosting our first Ideator UnConference on August 24th at CIC Rotterdam. You heard it right, an in-person event after all this Zoom fatigue.

This event will get together the brightest minds, crazy creatives, market experts and our studio team to impact the future of work and living and ultimately drive new venture creation.

Sounds like you? There is still time to join us. Learn more about our event and register today as we're closing the registrations soon.

Also, do you know other people who might be interested in joining our Ideator UnConference? Feel free to invite them; referrals are much appreciated!

News from our universe 🪐

• Exciting news! We partnered up with Notion for startups to offer our ventures $1,000 off their team plan. 

• We recently had a nice conversation with our friends at Startup Studio Insider about our studio and the ecosystem. Startup Studio Insider is a creative and collaborative space where they will discuss the nuances and potential of the Startup Studio model. We are super excited to be featured in their latest Startup Studio Spotlight!

• The PropTech space is on the rise, and our venture Obeyo is heading towards some very exciting times. In preparation for the official launch later this year, we recently created a new landing page that gives a sneak peek of our new brand. 

• This month we had a fun company outing with our studio team and ventures. The lovely people at BIRD hosted us for a pizza workshop, where we got to create something else than tech companies for once; pizza! It turns out we're all great pizza bakers, so we're happy to announce Builders pivots to making pizza's moving forward. All jokes aside, this was a really fun night.

• Meet Diederick Weijschede, our brand and product designer at Builders. After working with our studio and ventures for quite some time, we're happy to announce that Diederick officially joined our core studio team. Diederick brings our ventures to life in his new role by setting our products and brands' overall design language and look & feel.
