Betty Blocks

At the heart of Betty Blocks lies a story of empowerment and a relentless drive to democratize technology. It all began in a true start-up fashion, within the confines of a parents' attic in 2007. Two Dutch brothers, Tim and Chris Obdam, were on a mission to solve their own entrepreneurial challenges. Tim, the elder brother without a programming background, grew frustrated with the technological roadblocks hindering his goals. His exasperated question, 'Why can't I build business applications by myself, without learning a difficult programming language?' became the catalyst. Chris, the younger brother and a natural programmer, embraced the challenge with a resounding 'Game on,' and the foundation for Betty Blocks was laid. This origin story is deeply woven into the company's cultural fabric, fostering a belief that technology should be an enabler, not a barrier.

This core philosophy has cultivated a unique and vibrant company culture. The team at Betty Blocks sees themselves as more than just colleagues; they are a family of energetic, hard-working individuals united by a shared passion: making application development as simple and intuitive as riding a bike. The mission is clear and ambitious: to make software creation so accessible that anyone within an organization can become a 'Citizen Developer.' This empowers people everywhere to independently build their own solutions, solve pressing problems, and ultimately create better lives for themselves and their communities. While competitors may focus on rapid scaling and sales, Betty Blocks is dedicated to building a lasting legacy and providing genuine value. This people-first approach means that working with Betty Blocks is about joining a community, where collaboration, innovation, and having fun along the way are paramount. It's about collectively building the future, true Betty Blocks style, and empowering a new generation of creators to turn their ideas into reality without limitations.
