About Fivo
An independent software company based in Hoogeveen.
Fivo invents, builds, and runs its own digital products. Selectively, we also develop smart software for companies with a concrete problem.
Fivo builds useful software.
We spot something that is unnecessarily hard, manual, or fragmented. Then we build software that makes it simpler.
Sometimes that becomes our own product. Sometimes we build it with a company that runs into the problem every day.
Fivo is not a traditional development agency that takes on every project. We prefer compact software with a clear problem, real users, and room to grow.

About the founder
Danny Jansen
Founder of Fivo
Fivo was founded by Danny Jansen, a Dutch product builder with a background in development, digitalization, and automation.
From his work and own projects, he kept seeing the same pattern: good ideas stall because software is made too large, too expensive, or unnecessarily complex.
Fivo is built on the belief that small, sharp software often creates more value than large systems packed with features nobody uses.
