Digital Nomad
Definition
A person who uses digital technology to work remotely while travelling to or living in different locations, not tied to a permanent office or geographic base.
Why it matters
The rise of digital nomadism reflects a fundamental shift in how founders can structure their work and life. Understanding the lifestyle also helps founders building products and services targeted at this growing demographic.
Example
A founder runs her e-commerce business from a laptop, spending three months in Bali, two months in Portugal, and four months in her home city. Her business generates revenue regardless of location because all operations are digital and automated.
