10 years ago today I had my first paying customer in Woohoo inc. I have now spent 10 years making millions of people in 30 countries happy at work.

I have never before in my life done the same thing for 10 years running and I can honestly say that this is the most fun and the most fulfilling thing I have ever done.

I am incredibly thankful to way too many people to mention here but I am fully aware that this journey would have been completely impossible without my great friends, playmates, partners and clients around the world to help me, inspire me and challenge me.

Here’s to the next 10 years and to our vision:
A world where happiness at work is the rule and not the exception.

Who’s with me? :)

And here’s a little gallery to celebrate the last 10 years.

    Congratulations, Alex! It’s a great achievement to last one year, much less ten, but it’s even greater to be doing some that you love and to be sharing that love with others. Here’s to the next ten!
