Our German team had a fun team event recently which started with a ceramics painting session — such a great way for everyone to get creative! 🎨✨ The evening wrapped up with a lovely dinner, celebrating this year's achievements before the holiday break. At BookBeat, we cherish these moments that bring us together and foster our team spirit. 💜

"So, so grateful for so smart and pedagogical people wanting to share their area of expertise! And so much fun to have the cases, examples and material all with real or very relatable BookBeat-cases. Feels so good to be able to understand more of the numbers in the future!" This was the feedback from one of the participants in our recent "Finance Crash Course" Learning Lab sessions, hosted by Emma Hjalmarsson and Måns Svenler from our Finance team 💜 Over three sessions, they equipped colleagues from various teams with the tools to better understand our numbers through BookBeat related examples. A huge thank you to our hosts for making the topic so accessible and engaging, and to everyone who participated with curiosity and enthusiasm! ✨

On the 30th of November 2015, BookBeat went from an idea on the drawing board to reality when we launched our first beta version of the app and welcomed our very first user. 💜 Now, we’re celebrating nine incredible years of memories, milestones and adventures - with cake, of course! Here’s to our journey so far and all the exciting chapters ahead 🎂✨

Yesterday, we gathered at the stunning Nedre Manilla at Djurgården in Stockholm to celebrate an incredible milestone - reaching one million paying users earlier this fall 💜 The evening was filled with laughter, delicious food, and wonderful company, all set against the backdrop of such a beautiful and inspiring location. As if that wasn’t magical enough, the first snow of the year graced us on the very same day! ❄️
