Three teenagers founding a company in the attic of their parents’ house. What reads like the script of a Hollywood film is the story of how Netstream came about.
As a popular provider of cloud, internet, telephony, hosting, TV and wholesale solutions, Netstream is celebrating its 20th anniversary today.
Netstream’s vision
Imagine people living fulfilled lives in harmony with technology and nature.
That is exactly Netstream’s vision, which the company will pursue over the next 20 years. A number of sustainable measures have already been implemented this year. In summer 2018, for example, Netstream decided to modernise the cooling of its data center and opted for a free-cooling system. The Swiss Climate Foundation supported this ecologically valuable conversion with a grant. Many more exciting measures are already planned for 2019.
For our 20th anniversary, we are planting trees for a good cause
To mark its 20th anniversary, Netstream has come up with a special project. For every new customer who orders a product from Netstream by the end of February 2019, a tree will be planted.
Trees perform a wide range of tasks for us. For example, they produce oxygen, store carbon and slow down climate change. By planting trees, we want to work step by step towards a better world.
Alexis Caceda, CEO, Netstream AG
In March 2019, Netstream will set a day on which employees can volunteer to plant trees. The aim is to plant a wide variety of native tree species in the Wittikon area, creating a new area of mixed forest. “It makes us happy that, as an IT and telecommunications company, we can do something good for nature together with our employees,” Caceda concludes.
Anniversary interview
In our anniversary interview, the three founding members Alexis Caceda (CEO), Reto Kasser (CTO) and Dominik Breitenmoser (CIO) – who have always remained loyal to the company – look back on Netstream’s beginnings and talk about the entrepreneurial highs and lows of the last two decades.
