This was, of course, a high aim, but we were sure that we can do it.

However, the reason why we still thought that this was a good idea was because we knew we can make a product which is 10 times better than the market average. Back then, however, it was hard to say if this was going to be the case, so we did extensive market research and we knew that we were entering a market which had more than 10 direct competitors. In retrospect, we can probably say yes because we’ve been quite successful, which naturally means that there must have been a demand for our offerings. Was there a gap in the market at the time? During my time at TeamViewer, I had lots of ideas that I couldn’t bring to execution, so meeting two other like-minded people there and starting our own company with them was a logical step if we wanted to bring our ideas to life – which is exactly what we did. Our work at TeamViewer and our interest in this technology inspired us to set up AnyDesk. How did the idea about AnyDesk come to life? The experience there introduced him to AnyDesk’s other two co-founders, which resulted in the foundation of AnyDesk.

This passion for the field brought him to TeamViewer where he stayed for three years. His career in the sector began when he was still a university student who used to implement open-source systems for audio-visual transmission over the internet. Philipp has always had an interest in remote desktop software and visual transmission, as well as internet technology overall. To hear about the company, the way they’ve navigated the success they’ve seen (not just this year) and AnyDesk’s plans for the future, we caught up with the company CEO and one of its three co-founders – Philipp Weiser.

It offers remote control, file transfer, and VPN functionality and enables everyone to work from home within 15 seconds after installation. AnyDesk is a platform which provides independent remote access to personal computers and other devices running the host application.
