We received our initial capital through…
Crowdinvesting – hopefully. The CONDA campaign just launched recently, and we hope to raise the initial money we need for the prototype through this platform. In addition, we are talking to bigger investors, and also finance a lot with our own money.
Our boldest move was…

The real pain about starting a business in Austria is…
The real pain about starting a business in Austria is that people tend to focus so much on the restrictions, regulations and possible problems that they can’t see the great possibilities behind the idea.
The one thing we would save from our burning office is…
The old Viennese house “HAUSWART” sign that made us come up with the idea of our Wohnwagon-logo and has become a legendary source of inspiration ever since.
The worst piece of advice we ever got was…
You should try to find a partner in the Czech Republic that produces the wagon for you so you can make a lot more money with it!
We’ll give up when…
Never. Just – never.
Our inside joke is…
Oh, you want a Wohnwagon, well let’s see – the first free spot on our waiting list is open in November 2019.
You might not believe it, but we…
You might not believe it but we sometimes have the feeling that our idea travels faster than we can follow and that we just have to keep up and it will be a success. Sometimes it just seems too easy to be true.
We’ll call ourselves successful when…
We established Wohnwagon as the leading brand in sustainable, natural living, offered at least 20 employees a great place to work and found a way to create a new understanding of how we want to live and how much space and resources we really need to be happy.
