Cédric Waldburger
Cédric Waldburger is a Swiss entrepreneur, investor, blogger and essentialist. He started his first business, Mediasign AG, a Swiss agency specialised in branding and brand strategy,[1] at the age of fourteen. Among the companies he founded or co-founded are Tenderloin Ventures AG, an early stage venture capital fund with a focus on high growth companies in the IT / software / hardware Industry;[2]; Glimpse Corp., a service provider for video auditing and data analysis, specialising in monitoring of food and beverage service transactions through video cameras;[3] DFINITY Foundation, a blockchain-based cloud computing project;[4] and Sendtask, a service provider and producer of task management and communication software.[5] Waldburger also propagates minimalist living. He does not have a permanent address, spends an average of four days at one place and owns only 64 things, all of them coloured black, which he carries around in a duffel bag and a back pack.[6] [7]
Minimalism[edit]
Waldburger is a well-known propagator of minimalism. He minimalised his lifestyle to attain the maximum in his life. He rid himself of everything he considered unimportant to focus on the essentials of life, such as relationships.[8] Minimalism refers to the phenomenon that more and more people in the industrialised countries feel the need to rid themsleves of the useless clutter in their lives. They suffer too much information, own too many things and have too little time for the important issues in life. They realise that they buy more than they need, that they lose focus. Minimalists experiment with new concepts of life. Cédric Waldburger reduced the list of things he requires in his life to 64 objects. He gave everything else away and no longer has an apartment. As a CEO or CTO of several companies, he travels throughout the year and never spends more than three days in one place. He develops apps that enable others to live a minimalist life, according to a documentary by Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen (SRF), the Swiss German-language broadcaster.[9]
Digital Nomad[edit]
Waldburger and his lifestyle have been used as a model for the lives of modern business people. By 2017, Waldburger had participated in nine startups. This allowed him to learn different things from each company, as he says. His main lesson was „how important good teams, motivated employees and a positive working culture are.“[10] Waldburger has been featured in several lifestyle and management magazines,[11] [12] among them Audi’s ‚aio‘, as a modern example of a digital nomad.[13] Waldburger's activities are seen as a proof that in a truly globalised world, diversification can become a model for success. Waldburger's minimalist lifestyle combines several modern trends - travel, flexibility, location-independent work and a life that is dictated by one’s biorhythm, not by the adaptation to one’s working rhythm.
