Currently we have well over 2.000.000 users. We’ve quickly grown in The Netherlands over the past few years and the time has come to spread our wings and take the rest of the world by storm.

In our Amsterdam office you will find the informal atmosphere you would expect from a start-up company. We’re based in a nice and bright office in the heart of Amsterdam with a large garden, right besides the canals. Every day we all have lunch together and once a week we’ll crack open a few beers, bring out our table- tennis and football! And let's not forget about the occasional pubquizzes, board game nights and bbq cook-offs!
