Independent software holding, since 2020

We build softwarenobody can take away.Open source, madein Austria.

We started Elevantiq in 2020 to build and own open source software. Today that means Vendure, a commerce platform companies run on their own infrastructure, with all of the code in the open.

01

What we build

One product today. We would rather run one thing well than launch four.

What's next

Looking

Nothing to show yet. We only start what we can still run in ten years.

02

Why open source

Europe runs most of its business on software it does not control. We think that is a problem worth spending a career on.

Open source is the part we can do something about. If you can read the code, you can check what it does and keep running it long after we are gone. That last part matters more than most people admit when they sign a contract.

Our users sit all over the world and we build from Austria. That has never once been a limitation.

03

How we work

Open by default

The code is public before it is finished. If we ever lose the plot, fork it and carry on without us.

No surprises

Prices are on the website. Roadmap arguments happen in public issues, not in a private deck.

Plain answers

If our software is wrong for you, we say so on the first call. We have lost deals that way.

04
