Our founder and CEO Andreas, then IT-manager at the fast growing CRM company Lime, gets tired of all the problems with meetings and meeting rooms. He teams up with co-founder Linus, then developer at Lime, to put together an Android app to show meeting information on a small screen outside Lime's meeting rooms.
Together Andreas & Linus manage to get the app to integrate with the internal Exchange server at Lime. Yes, it was a hack, but time was of the essence since they only had one week of dedicated time for the project.
The solution works really well and customers, coworkers and suppliers that visit Lime ask about the very visual product and wonder where they can buy it. This made Andreas ask the CEO of Lime if he could make a product out of it, which he got the permission to do (but in his own company).
Meetio is officially founded and incorporated, at the time called Adjusoft. The software today known as Meetio Room was known as Broomker. Yeah, good thing we changed that right? Andreas worked in his free time making the first home page and Linus worked on making the software production ready.
Linus completes software version 1.0 and we start testing at Lime and other associates. The first version of our website is also launched. We won’t show you as it was a face only a parent could love (you might find it on some kind of internet archive though).
Our first customer that isn’t “previously known” to us signs an agreement to order one test unit. We doubt it was due to our first promotional video, but we can't be sure.
Christopher, our beloved software developer, then on his final year of studies at Malmö University, joins us to create an overview screen of all meetings and rooms in the same vein as Meetio Room. It is dubbed BLS (Broomker Large Screen), today better known as Meetio View. The first version is released later that same year, featuring your favorite "Grid View".
In a total branding overhaul, Adjusoft becomes Meetio AB. Broomker transforms into Meetio Room and Broomker Large Screen becomes Meetio View. Andreas makes the leap and, with their blessing, leaves Lime to put all his efforts into a fast growing Meetio. Co-founder and partner Johannes leaves his background in commercial real estate and joins Andreas and Linus in building out the future of the company.
The first version of Meetio Admin, our awesome cloud administration tool, sees the light of day. We also launch the first version of a product for resources shared among different calendar systems, Meetio Book.
Starting to get traction we also double our revenue.
Demand for Meetio solutions grows quickly, we hire not one but five new employees, at the same time tripling Meetio's revenue.
Meetio hires two additional employees in Marketing and Development and almost triples the revenue. But first and foremost, we brew amazing beer like Meetio Ipa and Meetio Summer.
After a wildly successful 2017, Meetio moves from a startup incubator to its first own office at Stadion in Malmö. Meetio also adds two other offices to keep up with product demand. The new Stockholm office comes first, then Johannes goes on an adventure across the Atlantic ocean for 6 months to launch our U.S. headquarters in Portland, Oregon.
Meetio goes from 9 to 19 employees and doubles its revenue.
The more the merrier! We continued to expand, both in Sweden and in the US. However, it was not only our workforce that grew, so did also our family of products! We launched Meetio Personal – a combination of our app and our Outlook add-in. Crazy enough, we once again managed to double our revenue – great success!
Despite a global pandemic we managed to release a new product – Meetio Desk. Hot desking hasn't been the same since it entered the market. We also continued our expansion and hired a lot of new people. Nothing more fun than new colleagues, right?
