Hey #TeamShadow, Welcome to this belated week’s Shadow Boost activation update which will look quite different to what you are used to.The reason why is that we currently paused all Shadow Boost activations due to the changes coming with our new leadership team. What are we doing in the meantime? While we are still going through a reorganization process internally, we are also using this time to properly map out how and where to distribute Shadow going forward.As soon as we have a clear plan in place, we will resume activations and expect a much faster pace than before thanks to our new partnership with OVH Cloud for Shadow hardware and data centers.We will keep you updated! 💡 Your account page should be updated with similar information in due time.

What a week it was, let me tell you.Last week featured a lot of “firsts”: first company meeting, first (virtual) handshakes and fist bumps, first time sitting together to map out the future of Shadow...you get the picture.But among these exhilarating firsts, was also the first execution of two tough decisions.In constructing its takeover plan, Jezby Ventures spent previous months carefully analyzing Shadow’s situation to understand what it needed to do to build a healthy and sustainable business for years to come. The result? Addressing two topics in the first week, which would not only ensure the survival of Shadow, but pave the way for long term success.So, without further ado, here’s a rundown of the notable topics in our first week out of the gates.New leadership team has entered the arenaWe kicked things off bright and early Monday morning by welcoming our new President, Octave Klaba, and CEO, Eric Sele, to the party.And by “ party” I mean an all-hands meeting on Zoom to first say

Hi all, The beginning of a new chapter is in sight - with just about two weeks (yes, really two weeks) to go.Here’s what you need to know. Earlier this week, the two companies bidding to take over Shadow presented their cases to the French administrative judge. The court will now review all available materials and make its final decision on April 30, 2021. The good great news: both companies submitted very strong bids and intend to continue our operations, and we can safely say both bidders are committed to continue and grow the business.Once the buyer has been chosen, we will work with them closely to announce our joint vision of the future of Shadow, and will get cracking on making the service the best damn thing you’ve ever experienced.It’s been a long and hard road, but regardless of the outcome, it’s made one thing clearer than ever: We are grateful to have a community as magnificent as you, and are elated to enter this next chapter with you by our side. In the meantime, it’s busi
