Today we had a long overdue catch up and plan about our product and where we are going. In order to get away from distractions we found a great little venue called, The Old Laundry. The Old Laundry is rented by What If, an innovation company based near Baker street tube.
The room we rented for the day was great, it had everything we needed, and allowed us to get on with thinking and talking, without having to faff about getting paper, pens, space etc.
We were also supplied with various home made meals and snacks throughout the day which was great, although I think I suffered a caffeine overdose from too much percolated coffee, but I can hardly blame them for that.
We were able to really look into the future and start planning the next steps! So I guess I can say we are hiring, although I will divulge more information soon :)
If you are looking for a funky, creative, inspiring place to have a meeting or brain storm, I couldn't recommend The Old Laundry enough! If you are looking for a job, drop me a line ;)
