Power to free communication
Celeste Vervoort — Copywriter
One of our very first buyers, Mark Vletter, decided to chase a dream when he saw the worldwide access problem of information and communication. Armed with a strong drive to change the status quo, he started the 48percent foundation with a mission to connect the whole world through free communication. Lightyear and the 48percent foundation share a purpose-driven mentality. Moreover, Mark got inspired by the way the Lightyear One generates electricity. In an article he wrote earlier this year, Mark explains the importance of generating energy in order to achieve free communication. Read his blog here.

Looking back: The story of a year of Lightyear
Martijn Lammers — Co-Founder
It was a year ago when I wrote this article from our very first office (we have been on the move), back when we were with just the five of us. It feels so much longer ago now. The past year has been an exciting year for Lightyear in many ways. Of course some things were harder than expected but I think it is safe to say that we came a very long way and are on course to reach our first big goal; realising Lightyear One. We started out with just the 5 founders and a small group of enthusiast part-timers, much has changed.

During this evening we asked our network to help us to take Lightyear a step further. And with success, we were able to sign our first partnership with a renowned Italian automotive design company.
This partnership allowed us to make yet another giant leap forward in making ou..
