Primalbase March Report
Marching onwards and upwards
Spring is upon us and the sun is rising at Primalbase. The existing workspaces in Berlin, Amsterdam and London are getting busier, welcoming a cast of characters from across tech and their awesome projects. Further afield, there are exciting developments in the place so good they named it twice, that never sleeps, that you can take a bite out of, and has too many nicknames. Read on to find out which one we’re talking about!
We also have some great tech events lined up in our offices in the coming months. We’re always happy to look at application requests, whether from our own community or beyond. If you’re looking for somewhere to host an event you feel would fit into our tech ecosystem, fill in the form here and we’ll get back to you!
TEAM UPDATES
Peter Tran — Assistant Operations — London
On the London Operations side, we have a new addition to the team — Peter Tran. Peter will be assisting in the day-to-day running of the office. Peter discovered blockchain in early 2017 and initially invested in Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum. He is now interested in tokenised traditional assets (real estate, art, currencies, debt) and other interesting ‘tangible’ tokens like the Primalbase token.
He also founded/operated a Vietnamese street food startup in Sydney, Australia which is now onto its third store. He also loves a good Pale Ale/Cider and all types of sports, including basketball, touch football, ping pong. He even played competitive/representative dodgeball and oztag in Sydney. Please welcome Peter to the team!
LOCATION UPDATES
Primalbase AMS
Primalbase Amsterdam has been busy again, with a steady stream of new faces now pouring into the office every day. Both of our 4PBT offices are regularly booked out. This is great to see, with all of these great minds and their big ideas working together, helping both grow our ecosystem and the wider goal of building new and exciting tech.
March has also brought us a lot of new prospects for the upcoming months, which will be interesting to all of our token holders. We are looking to share more with you asap!
In the meantime, feel free to stop by our office. If you can’t make it over and you have any questions, reach out through our slack channel and someone will be on hand to answer your query!
If you’d like to use one of 4PBT private offices, you can make a reservation using our online booking platform.
Primalbase BER
March has been exciting over in Berlin. More and more people are coming in to our co-working area and word of mouth has been spreading rapidly in Berlin’s blockchain scene, which is great as it brings more people together in our office.
We’ve also got an exciting new partnership to announce! At the beginning of the month, we teamed up with VR Lounge, located in the Postdamer Platz Arkaden, to give Primalbase customers a 10% discount on their incredible VR experience. You can enjoy great outings with your team or just go down by yourself and escape. Drop us a line at berlin@primalbase.com if it sounds up your street.
After the success of February’s after-work drinks, we decided to do it again in March, celebrating Marah’s birthday on the side. Lars was our very own DJ for this office gathering. It was great to see so many of you there!
Lastly, our token holders with 4PBT or more are welcome to come and use one of our two 4PBT offices. If you would like to make a reservation, please use our online booking platform!
Primalbase LDN
This month the London office has had the pleasure of hosting a number of interesting meetups. Our partners The Research Institute kicked off the month with an event for students and researchers, with more than 20 academics from top UK universities coming in to discuss the latest developments in blockchain. The discussions and pizzas both went down equally well!
We also welcomed back London & Partners for another roundtable. This time the focus was on mapping out and critiquing sales processes and toolkits with peer-to-peer learning and interactivity.
Lastly, a reminder that our token holders with 4PBT or more are welcome to come and use our 4PBT office. If you would like to make a reservation, please use our online booking platform!
Primalbase NYC
It’s been a hectic month in New York — we are delighted to say we have signed the lease on our new location! We are pleased to announce that our new office will be based in 40 Fulton Street. Opening out into the Financial District of Manhattan, the office borders the popular South Street Seaport and the creative and artistic neighborhoods of Brooklyn. It has all the spectacular views of the rivers and skylines you’ve come to expect from Primalbase!
We have been working hard alongside our project management team to make sure all our construction permits are ready, so we will be starting the construction work soon. Our interior design team is in the process of securing and ordering all furnishings for the space and finding vendors.
The Primalbase team has worked tirelessly the last year on getting the New York office open for our community, so we are all thrilled that we can move forward.
Primalbase SGP
In Singapore, we are still on the lookout for new spaces. The Suntec area is still one of our preferred options, but we are also now also looking at the Downtown Core of Singapore of South Beach. The likes of Facebook and LEGO are already situated here, so we would be in good company.
To give a little bit more background information about the current market in Singapore, there is very little vacancy. The fact is that only approximately 5% of the market is available to rent out. Within this small market, almost all buildings have a coworking exclusivity partner in place, which leaves us with a very limited selection. Working with only these options makes finding a fitted office even more challenging. We will keep you updated and more information will follow in our next report.
