About

Belgian, founder-led.

We build the software your business runs on. No licences, no hardware, and code that sits in your ownership from day 1.

YK Technologies is Belgian and founder-led. We do not sell licences and we do not sell hardware. We build on open source, and the code sits in your repository from day 1.

Founder-led means short lines. There is no account layer between you and whoever does the work, and every choice traces back to one person responsible.

no licences, code in your ownership

Our conviction

Your IT belongs back in your own hands

Most companies are stuck. Stuck to licences that get more expensive every year, to contractors and freelancers who come and go, to IT teams that have grown too large to keep an outdated enterprise landscape running. The run rate climbs, and in the end no one owns their own software anymore.

For a long time the rule was: buy what exists and build nothing yourself, don't reinvent the wheel. That held, until the tools changed. With open source and AI in the right places, we build faster and cheaper today than a licence model that never puts anything in your hands. We do not reinvent the wheel, we put it together more efficiently.

The difference is in the person. I work as an allrounder who reads architecture, finance and operations at the same time. Someone who understands what a choice costs, how it fits into the daily operation and how it holds up technically will draw up a better architecture than three specialists working past each other. And I have that architecture carried out too, in code that is yours.

High run rates and bloated, outdated structures belong in the previous decade. Companies that do not take that step keep falling behind, year after year. Whoever takes their IT back chooses lower costs and ownership that stays.

01What we stand for

Three promises we hold ourselves to

01

Approach and method

We build in waves. Every wave ends in a go or a no-go, and your base fee stops at a no-go.

02

Open source and ownership

We do not sell licences. You get the code in your repository, transferable to whoever you want.

03

Security and compliance

EU cloud, SSO and MFA, audit trail and daily back-ups. Controls at NIS2 level, even without a formal obligation.

02Our working rules

Seven rules that every choice is tested against

01

Numbers first

02

Big platform choices belong last

03

Speed is margin

04

Sales needs rhythm and visibility

05

Stock visibility drives buying and selling

06

Teams slow down on slow processes, not on unwillingness

07

Every euro of cost has to prove itself

03Build line

Every module from the same build line

We build AI-augmented. Every module uses the same components, the same patterns and the same tests. That keeps the platform predictable, even as it grows.

01

Consistent, the same components and patterns in every module

02

Transferable, code any integrator can take over

03

Maintainable, one standard open-source stack instead of separate tools
