Today Red Orbit is celebrating its 10 years. What started more than 15 years ago as a way of killing time by two students and became a garage company 10 year ago (in fact our first \u201coffice\u201d was in the basement) is today’s Red Orbit. 18 superheroes<\/a> living and breathing on 300 square metres in the \u201cattic\u201d with a wonderful view to \u0160marna gora hill, 18 addicts from coffee, table football, tasty food and good results.<\/p>\n

The first 10 years were full of ups and downs, mistakes and lessons learned, defeats and victories<\/a> (from the Best Business Idea and Startup Slovenia to Digiday Retail Award, Golden Punchcard Award and finalist for Google Premier Partner Awards). From the first moments, when there was money for nothing else than two computers and when we hadn\u2019t the slightest idea how to attract any customer all the way to the extreme growth in recent years and international success. I certainly don\u2019t regret it. Some things could have been done differently, we could take some other way but then we probably wouldn\u2019t learn what we did. We had to grow up and personally experience our own mistakes to become who we are. And we shall continue to make mistakes because otherwise we shall not grow.<\/p>\n

Victory for all of us<\/h3>\n

All this could not be achieved without a number of great people who helped us\/me on this path. In the first place Bo\u0161tjan who is being patient with me all the time and is a silent motor of Red Orbit who slowly but persistently pushes us forward. In this time he got grey hair and I am not sure if it is his wife or me to be blamed for this. I am afraid in fact it is me. \ud83d\ude15 \u00a0In the second place, there are our lovely spouses. Erika, who kicked me and Bo\u0161tjan in the ass to finally set up Red Orbit, and Katja, who is always faithfully there for me.<\/p>\n

Then, there are you Red Orbit people. Without you Red Orbit would not be such as it is. Everybody leaves its mark on it and together we have created something which is way more than just a job. I cannot speak on your behalf but for me Red Orbit is neither a job nor a company. It is a way of life. It is an environment which enables us to do things which we couldn\u2019t do alone. I love y’all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After all, it is you, our subscribers and all who follow and support us through social media, at the events and elsewhere. Your support, understanding and encouragement makes it possible that we can do it, gives us strength and at the same time set challenges and new goals which we want to attain again and again. Thank you to believe in us.<\/p>\n

The only permanent feature is change<\/h3>\n

A decade is a long period and in such time only a few things do not change. And it is no different with us. In these ten years a lot has changed and happened:<\/p>\n
