Dutch Technology Frontiers team and consulting

    Your Technology Partner from First Assessment to Production

    We build for production. The team that scopes it, builds it.

    Work With Us

    How We Started

    Our founders built their careers inside European banks, insurers, and engineering organisations. That experience shaped a clear belief: clients need a technology partner for the entire journey, from first assessment to production delivery.

    Not a firm that hands off after the diagnosis. AI and software built for production workloads, real transactions, real decisions, real users.

    That is what Dutch Technology Frontiers was built to deliver.

    Our principles

    What We Stand For

    Four principles that shape every engagement, and the criteria we use when deciding what to take on.

    Integrity

    We say what we find. If there's a deal-breaker, you get the truth and proof.

    Excellence

    Only proven engineers work on your project. No training happens on your budget.

    Innovation

    If a tool doesn't help you ship faster and scale smarter, we don't use it.

    Partnership

    We stay for the build. You rehire us because the work was excellent, not obligation.

    How We Are Different

    Small by design

    We stay small and senior, growing through deeper client work, not headcount.

    European by default

    HQ'd in Rotterdam, we're built for GDPR, DORA, NIS2, and the EU AI Act.

    Same team, every phase

    The architect who scopes it delivers it. No handoffs, no rediscovery.

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Dutch Technology Frontiers is a Rotterdam-based, technology consultancy. We deliver Technology due diligence for investors, fractional CTO and CPO services for startups and scaleups, and custom AI and software development for regulated enterprises. One senior team carries every engagement from assessment to production.

    Three groups: PE, VC, and M&A teams who need a Technology assessment before closing; CTOs at mid-market banks, insurers, and healthcare providers modernising regulated infrastructure; and founders from Series A to C who need senior technology leadership without a full-time hire.

    Yes. Headquartered in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Active delivery regions: Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, UK, Germany, France, and the United States. All data is EU-resident by default. We travel on-site across Europe for due diligence and key engagements.

    Most engagements begin within two weeks. For PE and M&A deals, a preliminary Technology assessment is available in five business days. Full due diligence takes two to three weeks. Fractional CTO mandates typically start the week the contract is signed.

    Two things. We do not run a pyramid model - senior engineers with ten or more years of experience do the work. And we stay end-to-end: the person who scoped the project is still on the project in month six.

    We specialise in regulated and high-stakes environments: financial services, insurance, healthcare, PE, software, logistics, and manufacturing. If we are the wrong partner for your industry, we will say so on the first call.
