Foreside

What Foreside does

Foreside B.V. is a private Dutch IT consultancy founded in 2020 and headquartered at Achtseweg Zuid 153F in Eindhoven, operating with a headcount in the 11–50 range. The firm provides expert IT professionals across five core disciplines: frontend development (React, Angular, VueJS, NextJS), backend development (Java, .NET, Python, TypeScript with NodeJS), full stack development, cloud engineering and DevOps (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud with Infrastructure-As-Code tooling), test automation (Cypress, Selenium, Robot Framework, Cucumber integrated with CI/CD pipelines), and digital architecture. Delivery is structured around three service lines: individual consultancy staff augmentation, Teams-as-a-Service for complete cross-functional project teams, and training plus workshops (including Discovery and MACH Architecture workshops).

The company is led by three co-founders — Robert Lenders (Operations), Danny Peters (Business), and Niek Heezemans (Technologies) — and runs a sales-led B2B go-to-market focused on mid-to-large scale enterprise clients requiring digital transformation, application modernization, cloud migration, or quality assurance automation. Revenue mechanics are professional-services-based: clients are billed for placed experts or full teams on project engagements, with pricing quote-based and not publicly disclosed; publicly listed salary bands of €4,200–€7,000 per month provide the only available pricing reference. Marketing and distribution rely on the corporate website (foreside.nl), LinkedIn-driven founder visibility, and direct enterprise engagement rather than partner channels, resellers, or marketplace listings.

Foreside is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or M&A activity. The operating footprint is concentrated in Eindhoven, with no disclosed international offices, and there is no public revenue, ARR, or headcount figure available. The company reports active hiring across six engineering roles and participation in the core team of an open-source digital architecture framework, signaling ongoing capacity buildout rather than market expansion.
