Posts about running my Nozbe online startup business and developing/designing Nozbe apps. Successes, failures, mistakes and lessons learned… it’s all in there.
Yesterday I wrote about Nozbe’s 16 anniversary and today I decided to record this on video, to really show you why I’m excited about our Nozbe mission and place in this world - and I hope you’ll share that excitement with me, too:
Today marks the “sweet sixteen” birthday 🎂 of Nozbe - a to-do app that I launched on my own way back on February 1, 2007 from my small rented apartment in Warsaw, Poland.
As today is December 15, it would actually be 19th birthday of my entrepreneurship. Back in 2003 on this day I formally started my company called initially apivision.com as a web and Internet Marketing consultancy. Later as I launched Nozbe in 2007, I changed the company name to reflect that. However, there is no celebration today. My email, which I sent to all of Nozbe users earlier this week explains that my company has transitioned from sole proprietorship to a limited liability company. I also touched on our #NoOffice culture, why I believe it was this change was badly-needed as the company grew and why I procrastinated on it. I hope you’ll find it interesting:
In a few days the Polish startup community will be awarding new startups Aulery - an annual award for innovation and global ambition. The funny thing is that the history of this award aligns with my history of starting and running Nozbe - because I was one of the first winners! Here’s how it went down:
In this episode of Nozbe product vlog we talk about small but very important improvements in how our product works. The comments - the basis of task-based communication - get lots of love - better handling of attachments and finally my beloved markdown formatting. Check it out!

Normally on this blog I’m not writing much about details of my app, Nozbe. I write about lessons learned in business, life and the like, but hardly about the particular features of Nozbe app… however when a feature helps me become a better CEO, I think it deserves a highlight. Let me explain why I hate asking people for status updates and why the “Activity” view in Nozbe helps me stay on top of things without doing any kind of asking.
On Nozbe blog I published a short blog post explaining how we’ve made more improvements to the Affiliate/Referral program. Now when you recommend Nozbe to others, you’re spreading #NozbeLove ❤️ with $15 in free credit! More info ℹ️
As we celebrated 15 years of Nozbe we made a big announcement that our latest product that we launched less than 2 years ago, became the new Nozbe. In the same time we explained that our Nozbe Personal users are taken care of, and we’ve got options for them. Apart from the birthday announcement, we also improved the “Compare” page that explains the differences between both apps in detail and I recorded a special video for this: More info ℹ️ at nozbe.com/compare
Wow, 15 years ago today I launched my productivity application called nozbe and 15 years later I’m still running it! And in the last few years we were in the transition period to finally announce that our new app, formerly known as “Nozbe Teams” is in fact the new version of Nozbe going forward - that it’s the future (More info ℹ️):
