the story of Digital Glarus
- -- In search for a better environment for creativity, ungleich - arrived at a small village in Glarus. First we were driven by the - cheap real estate price, then we were genuinely surprised by the beauty of its nature. People were incredibly friendly as well. Working just became so relaxed and enjoyable in such a beautiful - surrounding..How come we are the only ones here?! We can't be - enjoying this alone, we need to let others know about this great - place. That's how it all started... -
- -we fell in love
- -- We didn't see this coming, but we really fell in love with Glarus. The lakes, the mountains, the mist, the (amazing) snow, - the fresh air, the stream, the people, the stars...how could we not? And before long, we found an 100 something years old house, - formerly a family home, but long time unused, next to a river in - Schwanden. Full of old furniture, the house and the neighborhood - was stepping in a time machine. There, we found our first - coworking space in Glarus.
- -Our crowdfunding success
- -- What comes with a very old house? Lots of charm, yes. Great - history, yes. A contract stating that we can park our goats in the - storage room, yes. And, yes, tons of things to be fixed. We - couldn't afford much of renovation-we are a young start up rich - with creativity but not much money (yet)-that is why we decided to ask for help. To our surprise, generous people found hope and - inspiration from our project. We got much supports from people we - know and we don't know. People wrote to us, called us, met us. We - were on the cover of newspaper. We were on TV. We became the talk - of the town. -

- And the story continues..!
-- With the money we raised from our crowdfunding campaign, we - started renovating the hourse, ripping floors off and fixing - walls, giving a fresh coat of paint on old walls. We hired Samuel, - who came to Glarus as a refugee from Eritrea, as our intern to - renovate the house and learn computer science. We opened our door for students to live. Our coworking space is growing slowly but - meaningfully. Our journey only started! -
