Remote Group
The company behind Coworksurf — an Airbnb for remote workers I bootstrapped from €0 to €4M+ GMV.
Co-founder — product, growth & ops
The problem
Remote workers wanted places to live and work together around the world; hosts had the spaces. There was no trusted marketplace connecting the two — so I built one, bootstrapped, and ran it for six years.
Approach
- Bootstrapped from €0 with no outside capital — designed and drove the growth systems hands-on, directing specialists only where needed.
- Built a custom integrated booking system and Stripe marketplace payments so supply and demand could transact end-to-end.
- Architected a programmatic-SEO engine — keyword architecture, page templates and content logic — as a compounding acquisition channel.
- Wrote and ran the email & SMS lifecycle behind activation and repeat bookings: segmentation, automation and the A/B tests, not just the brief.
