Secfi HQ

We’ve got nearly the entire Secfi U.S. team here in new San Francisco office this week.

The office is huge but still a work in progress as we work to get settled in. It’ll be an amazing headquarters for us. I’m excited to host clients, investors and more to our office as we grow.

While I’ve never been a stranger to remote work, it has been a weird year and half during the pandemic. We weren’t able to meet any new hires in person or host any team events obviously. There’s a level of camaraderie that you just get from meeting in person and I’m glad that we now have the opportunity to do just that.

While most companies have given up their offices and gone fully remote, we decided to go with a hybrid approach. We felt that having a home base where people can come visit and people can collaborate would be the best for a team like ours.

Of course, there’s still plenty of flexibility available as people are not required to come into the office at any point. From what we’ve seen and heard, people like coming in from time to time when we have events or special meetings.

It’s been great to collaborate and brainstorm. Having teammates just walk up to my desk and ask a quick question is much better than the dreaded Slack message. I’m looking forward to doing much more in-person work in the coming months. It’s about time.
