Introducing Inkitt’s new headquarters in San Francisco, California! We have big dreams at Inkitt. We’re on a mission to discover talented writers and build a world-class platform to shine a light on their phenomenal stories, and eventually develop these stories into movies, TV shows, merchandise, video games, or even a theme park. We’re working towards becoming the Disney of the 21st Century, and our move to San Francisco is a commitment to our ambition.
A Recap of our 2022 Summer Summit in Berlin: Building Connections and Kickstarting New Collaborations Inkers convened in Berlin for our first company offsite since 2019. Two years ago, like many other companies, Inkitt went 100% virtual. During that time, we continued to grow as a team and expanded beyond Berlin. We learned to collaborate efficiently while working remotely across different time zones using tools like Slack and Google Meet. Although we’ve opened our new offices in Berlin and San Francisco, we continue to operate as a hybrid team— those of us located close to the office come in 1-3 times a week. Our team has more than doubled since 2019, and many of us now regularly work with people whom we’ve never met in person at all! The last time we organized a company-wide offsite was a little over two years ago. So, we brought the entire team to Berlin to work together, learn from each other, and build relationships.
Break the Bias! Celebrating International Women’s Day. Let’s Break the Bias! In honor of International Women’s Day, we want to contribute to a world that is inclusive, equitable, and free of bias. We strive to implement these values not only in the workplace but also in our neighborhoods, in our homes, and in our online communities.
Team Inkitt’s Walking Challenge During the last six weeks of 2021, our team at Inkitt participated in a collective walking challenge to walk 11 million steps that would inspire us to get up from our desks and move our bodies before settling into the colder winter months to come. While walking, we decided to raise funds in support of World Reader, a non-profit organization that provides reading via mobile phones and e-readers to children in underserved communities in a variety of different languages. Among the 38 participants on the Inkitt team, we covered an impressive 6310km in total - the distance from Berlin to New York City!
