I help SaaS founders and scale-ups keep their existing product relevant in a market that is changing rapidly because of AI. Software is becoming easier to build. That also makes features easier to copy. For many SaaS companies, the real question is no longer whether they should do something with AI, but how to integrate AI into their product in a way that truly adds value, fits existing workflows, and strengthens their differentiation. With Wise Minds, we help SaaS companies implement AI into their existing product and make smarter use of their own data. Not as a standalone feature or hype project, but as part of how the product works and what makes it distinct. That includes, among other things: - identifying where AI can create real value - integrating AI into existing product flows - working with the data the company is already building - actually delivering product changes with a complete team So we do not just give advice. We provide the team that builds it too. I hold an MSc in Software Engineering from the University of Amsterdam and have been running agencies since 2012 that build applications for startups and scale-ups. During that time, I have personally and through my teams helped build more than 70 platforms, led development teams, taken on multiple CTO roles, and coached SaaS founders on technology, product, and strategy. I have also worked as an architect at scale-ups and semi-public institutions. Because of that, I do not look at AI as just a technology trend, but as something that only creates value when it fits product, data, processes, and execution. More broadly, I think about European technology, technological sovereignty, sustainable innovation, and building strong, diverse product organizations. If you are building a SaaS product and want to explore how AI can play a real role in it, I would be glad to connect.
Wise Minds is a company with team of strong software engineers who love building software systems. Alongside building mobile applications and platforms ourselves, we also help other software teams to optimize their development process with our unique product: devOps as a Service.
People make choices every day and this endless amount of choices is showing an accelerated growth corresponding to the growth in the use of digital solutions. In the meanwhile, choices have become harder to make since most online tools, like webshops, work with raw filters instead of having shop assistants available like in a real physical shop. At Tjojs Technologies, we focus on making it easier to make a choice by providing flows which guide a customer to the optimal decision based on answers to simple questions.
