Jimdo

At Jimdo, we’re constantly inspired by the incredible journeys our customers take as they build their businesses. During this week’s Teamverløtung (our all-company meeting), we had the honor of welcoming a very special guest: Mila Prego, the owner of puramila and a dedicated Jimdo customer 🌟. Mila joined us from Bremen, Germany, to share her journey of launching Puramila. Growing up in Spain, Mila helped her parents run a small shop and developed a deep love for the business. After nearly 20 years in international sales, she finally reconnected with that passion. With the support of her local community, she launched Puramila, a store that has since become a beloved local destination. Today, her shop is known for its thoughtfully sourced items from across Europe—everything from food to art and home goods—that bring joy and tell a story 🛍️ 🫶 . During her talk, Mila emphasized that Jimdo has been more than just a platform for her business—it feels like we’re truly part of her team. That’s the best compliment we could hope for ❤️ ❤️ . Thank you, Mila, for sharing your story and inspiring us all with your courage and passion! Here’s to many more years of success and joy with Puramila 🎉✨

One of the things we love most at Jimdo? Connecting with our customers 🙌! Earlier this week, Jimdoers gathered for our regular all-company meeting, Teamverløtung. These meetings are an opportunity to share important updates, hear from different teams about their latest initiatives and wins, and celebrate milestones—like welcoming new team members, anniversaries, and promotions 🎉🎉. This time, we made it even more special by inviting Beat Bommeli, the owner of Wint-Piano and a Jimdo customer, to share his story with us. Our CEO and co-founder, Matthias Henze, interviewed Beat, and then Jimdoers had the chance to ask questions as well 🎤. Beat runs Winti-Piano, a digital piano rental business that he started about five years ago. His journey began when a friend asked him to teach their daughter to play piano. As he started teaching, he noticed many students didn’t have proper instruments, so he began buying used pianos to rent out. Over time, demand grew, and he expanded his business by purchasing more pianos. The pandemic played a huge role in accelerating his business, as more people took up playing the piano during lockdown. Beat eventually left his office job to run the business full-time. While he's expanded, Beat prefers to keep the business small and manageable, relying on occasional help for logistics and cleaning. His website, built using Jimdo, allows him the flexibility to manage the business on his own. Thank you, Beat, for your time, your insights, and the inspiration you brought to all of us! Here’s to the joy of learning, music, and being one’s own boss 🎶 🌟

Matze, our CEO and co-founder, recently presented at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress 2024.

At Jimdo, we’ve always been about empowering people to bring their ideas to life 🌟 Over the years, we’ve grown from a local startup to a fully remote, multicultural company with team members spanning across 10+ countries. Our journey has taught us that success isn’t about finding people who simply “fit in”—it’s about embracing those who bring something new to the table. In a recent podcast with Konstanty Sliwowski, our CTO Felipe Furlan da Silva shares how shifting our focus from culture fit to culture add and adaptability has driven innovation and growth at Jimdo. He talks about how we’ve built high-performing and inclusive teams that not only align with our values but also push us to constantly evolve. If you’re interested in how Jimdo has embraced this approach and why it’s crucial for building a team that thrives in today’s fast-changing world, check out this episode here or on any major podcast platform 🎧 https://lnkd.in/eMtyWJfQ

Only 14% of self-employed people and micro-enterprises in Germany currently use AI for their business, according to a recent survey by Jimdo and ifo institute. This is a surprisingly low number, given that AI can help with so many challenges small business owners face. Take a look at the recent interview (in German) our CEO and co-founder Matthias Henze did with Jan Schlie, VP of Product at Jimdo. Jan shares six super practical tips on how self-employed people can start benefiting from AI, specifically Chat GPT, and gives sample prompts. He covers several use cases, including customer research, SEO improvement, and business development. Let us know if anything surprises you! https://lnkd.in/emEFTPGc
