More Wall Space Means More Whiteboards
After moving into our new office space we quickly noticed that there just weren”t enough whiteboards to go around. When you pair up all of the ideas that are popping into our heads with the fact that we now have 50+ feet of wall space (on just one wall), it only made sense for us to find a quick, easy and hopefully cheap solution to cure our whiteboard woes.
To solve this problem we first took a look at buying really nice whiteboards that would last forever and that were so beautiful and pristine they looked like they belonged in some type of art-deco museum in Paris. I think that they were actually magnetic and made out of porcelain. Yeah, crazy stuff. This route would have cost us several thousand dollars, which basically blasted us right out of our acceptable budget.
After we ditched that over-priced idea (we are a start-up, you know) we decided to take a more economical route which consisted of us buying several sheets of white shower board and a bunch of brackets from Lowes near Burlingame. This option was MUCH cheaper (only $11/ 4×8 sheet) and even though we will probably have to replace them in a few months it’s still better than biting off a huge chunk of change for the other, fancier option.
Check out the video below or over here on YouTube to see some sweet of the sweet whiteboard action and keep your eyes open for cameos made by Boomer (the dog) and our cleaning crew (it was getting late).

Great solution guys! I’ve really enjoyed these little office clips and can’t say I know of any other company that has a blog category called “The Startup Journey” so keep it up.
One of the first things I noticed about Cha Cha Search when I interned there were all of the whiteboards in almost every room of their then office which was an old farm house. As soon as they got ritzier office space in Clay Terrace, they only had them in conference rooms which kind of killed the innovative/creative vibe IMO
