Leapwise

What Leapwise does

Leapwise (LEAPWISE d.o.o.) is a Zagreb-based, privately held custom software development firm founded in 2016, delivering enterprise software to telecom operators, cybersecurity vendors, and IoT-driven businesses across Europe and select international markets. The company's core offering is long-term, dedicated cross-functional teams composed of Mid and Senior engineers (Tech Lead, Software Architect, Business Analyst, Product Manager, and 4–6 developers) executing Java-centric microservices, workflow management, legacy modernization, and BSS/OSS integration aligned with TM Forum standards. Beyond dedicated teams, Leapwise sells project-based product building, system integration, and software architecture consultancy, and has launched two branded products — xolvi and Composer — signaling a measured move beyond pure services.

The firm operates a consultative enterprise GTM: a project brief form on its website captures stage, industry, engagement model, integration complexity, duration, and budget tiers ranging from under $10,000 to $50,000+, followed by a consultation meeting for quotation. Direct enterprise sales and partner-led engagements with telecom platform vendors (I-New, Cyan, Multicom) drive deal flow, supported by content-led demand generation through the Wise@Leapwise blog, podcasts, meetups, webinars, ebooks, and Clutch reviews. Croatia-based delivery provides EU regulatory proximity (GDPR-compliant, ISO-certified) and cost arbitrage versus Western European competitors.

Leapwise is positioned as a domain-specialist boutique rather than a scaled IT services vendor. The company holds ISO certification and team-level credentials including TOGAF, Professional Scrum Master/Developer, Oracle, and PRINCE2, and runs an internal Juniorship program to develop junior talent. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, no external funding rounds have been recorded, and ownership appears to remain with founders/private shareholders under the Croatian d.o.o. structure. Operating geographies span Croatia, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Slovakia, Spain, Chile, Thailand, and New Zealand, primarily delivered through client-side engagements rather than local offices.
