Operate, don't abandon
We measure ourselves by how a platform performs in its third year, not its launch week.
AND Media is a new platform studio in Zug, Switzerland, founded in 2026. We operate digital media products for the long run — and partner with engineering teams to build them. We're just getting started, and we're in it for the long haul.
Our story
The idea for AND Media came from watching good products quietly fall apart. A platform ships to applause, the team moves on, and a year later it's slow, brittle, and nobody quite owns it. We thought the interesting work was exactly the part everyone skips: the operating.
So we built a studio around it. We don't engineer the platforms ourselves — we partner with engineering teams for that. What we own is the operating: running apps, communities, and content systems day after day, keeping them fast and sharp while real audiences use them. No hand-off, no slow decay.
We're just getting started — deliberately small and operator-minded, in no rush to spread ourselves thin. We'd rather run a handful of platforms exceptionally well. It's early days, but we're already building for the version of these platforms that exists years from now. That's the whole point.
We measure ourselves by how a platform performs in its third year, not its launch week.
Fewer platforms, run properly. Quality is a decision we make at the start and defend every day after.
No buzzwords, no theatre. We say what we'll do, then do it — and tell you when something's off.
We work for the version of the platform that exists years from now, and the people running it then.
We work from the heart of Switzerland’s technology canton, a short walk from the lake. Visitors and good ideas are both welcome.
We run our platforms in partnership with the engineering teams who build them. If that's the kind of work you care about, the studio is one email away.
