Makers

No investors, no sales pitch. Since 2001 we, Jaco Blommerde and Jelle Oosterhof, have built software in close collaboration with the organisations that use it every day. We prefer to work on questions with social value, together with universities, companies and consultancies.

Our flagship

Pivio: the all-in-one platform for foundations and funds.

Pivio takes the admin off the hands of foundations and funds, so they keep time for the people behind each request. One place, smart workflows, GDPR-proof. Live since 2018, built on our own Prime Framework.

Live since 2018
70+ foundations & funds
0% churn
What we work on

Three themes, rooted in our own expertise.

We don’t take on just any project. Our themes grow from where our own expertise lies, and from the conviction that technology makes a real difference here.

Foundations & funds

Software that unburdens foundations, funds and municipalities, from emergency aid and poverty relief to welfare, youth and culture. Pivio is our answer to this.

Healthcare

IT that makes care better and lighter. Co-founder Jelle is a developer and a medical doctor (MD). Technology and care come together in him.

Energy transition

Technology and analysis for sustainability. Co-founder Jaco worked on the energy transition at CE Delft, the Province of Utrecht and AkzoNobel, among others.

The people behind Eastground

Two builders, one workshop.

No department, no layers in between. Eastground is a company of two: we run it together and build everything ourselves. That keeps the lines short: you always speak to the makers themselves.
