FAQ

Common questions

Engagements start at €75 for a student career roadmap and €140 for a one-hour working session. Most fixed-scope engagements are between €950 and €1,400. Every price is listed on our pricing page. There are no hidden fees - what you see is what you pay.

Yes, with no obligation and no sales script. If we are not the right help for your situation, we will say so on the call. The call exists for you to describe your situation and for us to tell you honestly what we think.

Typically within a week of the call. For working sessions and the student roadmap, often within a few days. For code reviews and audits, we agree a start date on the call.

Yes, globally. All engagements can be delivered remotely. On-site workshops are available in the Netherlands at the stated on-site rate.

No. Most of our founder clients are non-technical. We write reports in plain English with concrete next steps. Technical depth is available if you want it, but it is never the default.

Then buy an hour. A 60-minute working session at €140 is a real product here. It is, in fact, the cheapest way to find out whether we are useful to you.

We invoice after the call, payable by bank transfer or a card payment link within 14 days. Retainers are billed monthly in advance. Anything under €500 is prepaid. A 50% deposit is required for engagements above €2,000.

Prices on this page exclude VAT. Dutch BTW is added for Netherlands clients and EU consumers. EU businesses with a valid VAT number are reverse-charged. Clients outside the EU are generally invoiced without Dutch VAT. Your invoice will state the applicable treatment.

Tell us what you're building.

No commitment until after the call. We’ll tell you honestly whether we’re the right help.
