Anywhere Digs

Wow, what a rush!

First, Make-It Homes has been rebranded as Anywhere Digs, and we've launched anywheredigs.com. The Make-It Homes project is still alive as a related side project, regarding just the aspects of the vision that apply to property owners and productivity-oriented property upgrades.

One World Innovations and Anywhere Digs are both live on facebook, too. Like them?... Please? :)

The last few months have been quite a ride and a lot of work, all culminating last night. Rev, the local incubator I've mentioned in a few previous posts, invited One World Innovations to pitch its business. 12 companies were considered. 6 were selected for pitch night. We were the 4th pitch. The audience was 85 people. Most attendees were local entrepreneurs and professionals, some were students. A few in the audience represented regional venture firms.

We pitched Anywhere Digs, the global home-office network. We pitched it's pilot, launching early 2016 in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, and Argentina. (By the way, we're going to South America next March!) We pitched the key features. We pitched the scaling model. We answered questions, and then we mingled and had a really nice beer.

We're really happy with how it went. Rev did not record the event, but we're filming an adaption for web audiences.

In the meantime, did you know...:

• 52% US* workers unhappy with their jobs. (Conference Board)
• 40% US* workers have remote-feasible jobs. (Scott & Williams 2012)
• 90% US* companies are growing remote-working programs. (Citrix)
• The online staffing industry (e.g. remotely employed freelancers) will grow $4 billion by 2018. (Staffing Industry Analysts)

* I'd love to see similar data for the EU.
