  • We spent a great time in Lisbon getting to know each other, connecting as a company, and learning from one another. In 2020, 122 members of the Productboard team traveled to Lisbon for our annual company offsite. Care to join us? See why Productboard could be a great fit for your next adventure!
  • This new remote world makes it challenging to connect. Despite that, we wanted during the company kick-off to spend this time getting to know each other, connecting as a company, and learning from one another. We wanted to deliver our 2021 vision while looking back to 2020 and celebrating wins. And we are sure it was a success!
  • We remember the lockdown and quarantine here in the Czech Republic and how hard it was for us – it was a time full of uncertainty, frustration, and sadness. We can't even imagine how hard it is right now for our friends in the US to be locked down for almost five months, not knowing when the situation will improve. To show our American Productboarders some love and support during these challenging times, we made a surprise video for them.
