What Makerstreet does

MakerStreet B.V. is a privately held Amsterdam-headquartered digital agency network founded in 2011 and operating as MakerStreet B.V. under Dutch law. It operates as a collective of 14 specialized digital agencies (including Elements, Milkshake Research, Mr Koreander, Noun, Resoluut, Saxum, Saxum infra, Soda Studio, Touchtribe, Unplugged, and Makerlab) with 250+ digital specialists covering UX research, service design, visual design, UX copywriting, agile coaching, front-end and back-end development, DevOps/infrastructure, composable commerce, and innovation strategy. Each member agency retains its own brand, expertise, and identity; MakerStreet provides shared back-office (HR, finance), client introductions, and cross-agency orchestration, with founding partners Roderick Martens and Jasper Olieroock leading new business engagement.

The company serves large Dutch and European enterprises on complex digital mandates spanning digital commerce, proposition design, customer journey research, platform and app development, brand digitalization, and technical modernization. Documented engagements include the Bol.com shopping app redesign (resulting in the #1 shopping app position in the Netherlands with 4.7/5 App Store rating and 17% Dutch retail reach), the OVpay contactless national fare payment system built with Translink and Dutch public transport operators, the Albert Heijn WINK store-staff app consolidating 9 legacy systems, the Schiphol passenger experience program, the Nationale-Nederlanden Friend platform for the 55+ segment, headless commerce builds for TimeMoto (BigCommerce + Storyblok) and Fixami, a microservices migration for Spaces, and the Dott micro-mobility app. Underlying technology work spans mobile app engineering, headless/composable commerce architectures, microservices decomposition, service design, and agile delivery.

MakerStreet generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; new engagements are initiated via direct outreach to founding partners or through inbound contact. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, supported by a content hub, case studies, LinkedIn presence, and an active partner recruitment channel for agencies seeking to join the network. The company holds no external funding, has no disclosed acquisitions or M&A activity, and operates from offices in Amsterdam (Piet Heinkade 55, Fred. Roeskestraat 99, and Hiridostraat 3) and Barcelona (Plaça del Doctor Letamendi 37), with GDPR/AVG-compliant privacy practices across the network.
