Our story
Friends don't let friends build data centres
TechNative co-founder Bas Anneveld was part of the pioneering engineering team at Marktplaats.nl. There he learned what it takes to build and scale platforms serving millions of users.
The beginning
Born in the cloud
After years of operating multi-region private cloud and data centres, the rise of public cloud felt like a breath of fresh air. One insight stuck: "friends don't let friends build data centres." That phrase became Bas's mantra the moment AWS arrived — and it still drives how we work today. In 2019 he founded TechNative together with Walter van der Harst: helping companies get control over their cloud platforms, both technically and financially.
