Company Offsite in Austria 🇦🇹

We're back from our Company Offsite in Austria, where the entire Weaviate Team gathered to innovate, ideate, and align around new initiatives, features, and activities! User-centricity was front and center during our trip as we stepped into new shoes, tried fresh perspectives, and turned things upside down. We built rockets, enjoyed dinner with nearly 100 people—cooked and served by our founders—and so much more!

📽️ Check out the video to get inspired and hyped up for what's coming in Q4!
