At Buffer, we embrace the entrepreneurial spirit and creative drive of our teammates, many of whom have side projects outside of work. These projects range from apps and freelance work to music, nonprofits, small businesses, podcasts, and writing. These endeavors not only contribute to our individual growth but also enrich our company culture.
In celebration of these ventures, we have compiled a list of blogs, businesses, books, and apps created by Buffer teammates. We hope they inspire you as much as they inspire us. Check out some of the exciting side projects our team is working on:
