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.
