Lost Lemon

What Lost Lemon does

xxllnc (operating under the brand name referenced as "Lost Lemon" in the data envelope, though all substantive content describes xxllnc; the company was previously known as Emaxx) is a Dutch private SaaS provider that builds modular software applications for Dutch municipal and semi-governmental organisations. Founded circa 2001, the company has operated for approximately 25 years in the Dutch public sector software market and maintains a portfolio of application modules across five vertical domains: Belastingen (taxation), Omgeving (environment), Productiviteit (productivity), Sociaal (social), and Zaakgericht (case-oriented). The social domain is the company's deepest specialisation, comprising six core applications — Leerlingenvervoer (student transport), Leerlingbegeleiding (student guidance and dropout prevention), Onderwijsloket (education housing insight), Regiesysteem (social service coordination), Sociale PDC (social product management), and Vroegsignalering (early household debt detection) — supplemented by newer modules including Huisbezoeken (home visits) and Prognose (population-to-education planning). The platform is web-based, built on modern web development frameworks, and content-managed via Sanity CMS (cdn.sanity.io).

The company co-develops its social domain applications with the NVSI (Nederlandse Vereniging van Sociale Innovatie), embedding end-user social professionals into the product design process. Its customer base includes 250+ care providers (zorgverleners) and covers approximately 6.64 million Dutch households, with named municipal clients including Gemeente Den Haag, Gemeente Wageningen, and Gemeente Etten-Leur. The business model is a quote-based subscription model with annual billing, sold through a sales-led, consultative motion anchored by a dedicated "Manager Sociaal" and "Succesmanagers" who build tailored success plans for each municipal client. Marketing is content-led, with blog content, case studies, LinkedIn presence, and industry events (including 'AI-dag xxllnc Zaken') supporting pipeline generation. Distribution is exclusively direct to Dutch municipal and semi-governmental buyers, with no self-serve or channel-based sales motion. AI is being introduced as a feature layer (e.g., AI-assisted WOZ objection handling), though the company does not disclose proprietary AI/ML research, named models, or data flywheel mechanics.
