The Credix Team (- Alex, Sushant, Satyam)

June 15th, 2023. Exactly one year after our first offsite in Rio de Janeiro. Back then we were a team of 10 people. Today, 1 year later we are a global team of 31 people. Some already met at the previous offsite in Belgium, and others met each other for the first time in person 2 weeks ago. As we reflected on our second offsite (note from the writer, that was in December, in Belgium, in the snow), we couldn't help but take our team's feedback to heart. We realized that we're a bunch of warm-blooded souls who yearn for a bit more sunshine in our lives. So, for our 3rd offsite, and with a desire for warmer places, we flew the team to sunny Ericeira, the surfing capital of Portugal.

On the agenda: 3 days packed with internal workshops and team-building activities, laying the foundation for Credix’s next phase of growth.

Friday, June 16th. After a Meditation/Yoga session led by some of our early birds, and a delightful breakfast, our day kicked off with interactive workshops. Our CEO, Thomas, led the opening session, reflecting on the past six months and outlining the objectives for the coming half year. He also reminded us of the core principles driving our third offsite: Connection and alignment.

Workshop day

With the tone set for the day, we dove into the various workshops. These interactive sessions provided our teams moments to connect, exchange ideas, share opinions, and inspire each other. It was a genuine revelation to discover that our colleagues from different departments held invaluable expertise and unique perspectives that could be tapped into in order to solve common challenges. We found ourselves in an environment of trust and open-mindedness, where everyone's voice was not only heard but very much valued. We covered:

• The power of data: how can it benefit ourselves in our daily tasks, and how can it create value to our stakeholders
• The importance of impact: how to measure our positive impact and what are new initiatives we should pursue
• Where DAO we go from here: a business, technical and regulatory view on alternative governance and capital formation ways
• Smart contracts being really smart: a business view and demo of the potential of our smart contracts being stress tested with the most exotic capital market structures
• Culture, culture, culture: a global company deserves great internal communication

“Our time in Ericeira allowed us not only to align on business objectives going forward into a new semester, but also foster a sense of unity as the team showcased their shared dedication. Learning from and brainstorming with the different departments allowed us to witness the team’s creativity and synchronicity. The team bonding activities then complemented this atmosphere of spontaneity that comes with being together. It was especially fun to see and cheer on as many surfed for the first time.” Maria Fernanda Lacombe - Based in São Paulo

To wrap up the day, we enjoyed a delicious Portuguese dinner and then surprised the team with our very first Credix Quiz.
