Studio Andere Koek

What Studio Andere Koek does

Studio Andere Koek is a private, founder-owned software development studio headquartered in Groningen, Netherlands, operating with a core team of two developers (Tim van der Putten as full-stack developer and Jaring Dijkstra as frontend developer) supplemented by external collaborators. Founded in 2015, the studio functions as a full-service internet bureau delivering custom mobile applications, web apps, business software, and websites for businesses, organizations, and individuals in the Dutch market, with a co-creation methodology that pairs the studio's technical expertise with each client's domain knowledge.

The studio has independently built four consumer-facing products distributed via the iOS App Store and Google Play: LetsCollect (an offline-to-online collection and knowledge-sharing platform), Omapost (a photo-to-postcard app for sending digital photos to grandparents as physical mail), iCareerpad (a sustainable employability reflection tool for employees), and YoHo / Young Helps Old (an intergenerational help-matching platform connecting seniors with nearby teenagers). Alongside these products, the studio sells project-based custom software development services spanning planning, co-creation, development, and ongoing maintenance support.

The business model is professional services plus product: revenue is generated through bespoke, quote-based custom development engagements with free initial consultations and multi-year support contracts, while consumer app revenue mechanics (if any) are not disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led via a website contact form and direct outreach, with marketing driven by a portfolio site and social media. The studio is independently owned with no disclosed investors, funding rounds, partnerships, patents, or awards, and explicitly claims more than 10 years of individual IT experience and 60 years of combined programming experience as its primary credibility signal.
