On this day fifteen years ago, Danny Lein and Paul Janssens started Twipe to answer a challenge from the team of De Standaard, a leading newspaper in Belgium. The challenge was to create an iPad app to show a digital version of the newspaper edition. The iPad had just been launched by Apple three months before, and neither of them had ever held one in their hands, but they said yes! Fast-forward to today: Twipe works with over 40 newspaper publishers, serving the digital edition to more than 2 million people a day, with a suite of products that reach well beyond the ePaper, and a team of 40+ strong. Despite changes to both the company and the industry at large, our mission remains unchanged: To craft the world’s most engaging news experience technology together with leading media. So, on this 15-year anniversary, we really only have one thing to say to our customers, partners, Twipees (past & present), and our online community of +5000: THANK YOU! We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you at the Digital Growth Summit on October 15th. As a token of our thanks, we’re offering 50% off your DGS ticket until September 1st: https://lnkd.in/eqUUs2MC Here’s to the next 15! Let’s shape the future of news. Together.
