Founded in 2017, the company's career platform provides valuable tech content, perfect-fit job opportunities, and outstanding events throughout the year to support the professional and personal growth of developers.
It creates substantial value for organizations looking to actively engage with software developers for recruitment or business development purposes and is used by numerous global brands such as Volkswagen, Red Hat, GitHub, Vodafone, ING, Dynatrace, Bosch, Canva, and Hugo Boss, among others.
The company achieved global recognition through hosting the WeAreDevelopers World Congress, the world's leading annual event for developers, bringing together over 15,000 participants and 500 speakers.
The funding from Round2 is now used to catalyse the growth of the platform in the Netherlands and the UK.
