Tictail Night out (Taken with instagram)

After a few months of office sharing with our beloved friends over at Wrapp (and one month with incredible iZettle) it’s time for our roads to diverge. 

When Tictail was founded a little more than a year ago we used to hang out in my kitchen (which Kaj later renamed to “prison”) - the reason being that salaries are heavy enough to bear without the weight of an office rent when you’re creating something out of nothing.

Meanwhile on Döbelnsgatan a company called Wrapp were tinkering with an idea that can potentially change the concept of gift giving. Leo (their CPO) and I knew eachother and decided to take a walk to blah-blah about our revolutions to be. 

What we realized was that there was a good deal to be made; Tictail didnt have an office, Wrapp didnt have a brand identity. We agreed on a simple exchange; me and Kaj would head up their brand identity (in collaboration with talented Max Rudberg) and they would give us space to work for roughly 12 months.

These 12 months have been nothing else than brilliant. I’ve learnt so many things from watching the Wrapp All Star team in action and I would like to believe that we’ve been able to contribute some inspiration from our side too. Wrapp has been kind of like our big brother.

We later both moved in with iZettle and the family once again grew bigger. But just like a family the kids grow and soon enough need to start looking for their own space. Tictail have grown up and we are now moving in to our first own apartment. And this is the best thing; we’re looking to get roomies.

Our first apartment will be super awesome. All of the things that your parents wouldnt allow will be Hey-Ok! We’ll accompany the coffee with ;a miso brew, we’ll lend you free bikes to get to and from meetings, we’re installing a washing machine (I hate booking a time to wash), we’ll host good talks and great parties and we’ll work - we’ll be doing a lot of work. To arrive at the office should feel like nothing else. I think it’ll be fun. 

‘

If this sounds like fun too you we should talk. We’re looking to populate maybe ten seats - preferably from one or two companies. We’ll be charging a normal rent, not more and not less and are open to strike deals if you have something that we need (or desperately want). We’re in it for the long term.

The best thing we could do for Tictail a year ago was to move in with Wrapp. This is free advice I’m giving you - don’t miss out.

There is something extremely profound about the idea of creating a service that will spur thousands of people into create or develop their own business. Even more so at such an early stage. To be a part from the start - to define and change the future of e-commerce. A lot of our greatest features are not yet built, some of them not even conceived. I’m hopeful. Exciting times.
