Wesley Abbenhuis
Founder DiceXQ & Wabber B.V.
8 years ago I started Wabber from nothing. No investors, no network, no plan B. Just a laptop and the conviction that good software makes the difference.
Today: 8 people, 345+ projects, own GPU cluster, clients like NVVB, UMCG and PS-Nachtdistributie. All self-built, all profitable, never any external funding.
And yet I see something structurally wrong.
Founders with the sharpest market knowledge never get further than a freelancer or a dev shop that doesn't understand their ambition. They have the customers, the network, the domain, but no technical foundation they actually own. They pay invoices instead of building equity.
That's why I started DiceXQ.
No hourly billing. No client-supplier dynamic. I invest my team, my infrastructure and 8 years of making the wrong decisions, you bring the market and the deal. Co-ownership, percentage depending on where you stand and how much risk I carry. Co-owners, co-responsible.
I believe the next generation of Dutch software companies won't come from VC rounds. They'll come from founders who know their sector from the inside, paired with a technical co-founder who means it and has no exit strategy after 18 months.
How I work
No endless intake processes. No five meetings before we start. I decide fast, build fast, and expect the same from you. If it sounds like a match, we talk once. Then we both know.
What I don't do
Selling Big Tech dependency. Writing consultancy reports. Working with founders who doubt their own market.
If you know the market and you're looking for someone who takes the tech off your plate as co-owner, that's me.
