I’ve been making some changes at Downtempo lately, and one of those was moving out our office over at 1890 Bryant and into the new I/O Ventures space on Valencia Street in the Mission.
Why did we leave our cushy office space on Bryant Street? To focus down on building the next big thing in consumer products. I’ve discovered that “20% time” wasn’t enough to really focus on building a great new independent product, although I’ve been happy with the results we’ve gotten with Is It Safe to Visit? and NiceTips.
By entering a community of people focused on building products, I/O Ventures has a great ecosystem and set of teams for us to exchange inspiration with. (and of course, having The Summit cafe in our building doesn’t hurt either!)
So it’s back to the serious basics: smart people, big ideas, lots of computers, and plenty of space to work in. Time to go build some products.
