A fresh face in the video chat can't hurt, Anna Sweet and Nate Salpeter thought.The idea of having your animals switched on video calls zoomed-uh, boomt.
The American founder Mecca Silicon Valley is known for its creative ideas.Apparently this also applies in times of Corona.The Sweet Farm animal shelter there recently had a rather strange idea: In order to loosen up the daily and rather tough video conferencing among colleagues, the Gnadenhof switches its llamas and goats.In return, the Sweet Farm collects donations from the video call participants.
Goat 2 Meeting is already overbooked
From $ 65 (around 60 euros), video callers can book the hairy companions-the longer animal participants stay in the conferences, the more expensive it gets.The Sweet Farm also offers digital guided tours for school classes - they are even free of charge.With the income, the two heads behind the project, Anna Sweet and Nate Salpeter, want to get the income back in, which now fails through Corona.
It apparently works pretty well-the hairy, sometimes drooling companions are quite popular with colleagues Home Office: "We have too many inquiries," says the Sweet Farm on its booking page "Goat 2 Meeting".Therefore, no longer every time window is available.After the plush pyjamas of colleagues, children's cries and horrible wallpaper patterns, the llamas and goats seem a welcome ray of hope in the digital conferences.Plus: The video callers cannot be spit out by the screen.
