Elastic has celebrated the opening of its new Amsterdam office in the 5 Keizers Building, marking a significant expansion from its original Schinkelbuurt location established in 2012. The event, which took place in early 2019, included a ribbon-cutting ceremony by Constantijn van Oranje, Prince of the Netherlands, and featured a live AMA with Elastic's founders, Shay Banon, Steven Schuurman, Uri Boness, and Simon Willnauer. This expansion reflects Elastic's rapid growth, highlighted by its IPO on the NYSE in October 2018. The opening festivities also included collaboration with StartupDelta to host ten Dutch startups, promoting a spirit of community and innovation. Attendees had the opportunity to engage with Elastic engineers through product demos and enjoy a celebratory gathering with music, food, and drinks, emphasizing Elastic's commitment to maintaining its unique culture and small office feel despite global expansion.
