Run by one person, on purpose.

dekimpe.me is a one-person managed IT shop, operated by Corentin De Kimpe from Brussels and Luxembourg City. The thesis is straightforward: small European companies are paying enterprise prices for tools sized for enterprises, in dollars, with their data in Virginia.

Open source has caught up. OpenDesk — built by the German Center for Digital Sovereignty for federal administration — is now mature enough that a 10-person studio in Liège can run on it without noticing. The infrastructure rents for €30 a month. The work is in operating it well.

That work is what you're paying for. Every operational decision is published. Every customer reads the same DPA. Every tier ships the same security baseline. There is no enterprise sales motion because there is no enterprise sales budget — and you're not paying for one.
