about · who and how
A small studio that writes software for people who measure things.
Better3 is a software studio registered in the Netherlands in 2026. It grew out of a decade of building analysis tools inside research groups: command-line pipelines that run on a cluster, databases that stay current with public archives, and browsers that let a group look at its own data without a spreadsheet.
We work with research groups, core facilities and small companies that have a job a tool should be doing. The brief fits on a page. The result is a repository you own, with docs, a validation report and a plain-text mode for the logs.
Why "3"
Three offerings. Three principles. Three bars in the mark. And the belief that a tool is only finished when it is better three times over: better data, better design, better results.
Where
Nijmegen, NL. We work remotely with groups anywhere in Europe and meet in person when the data is on a machine that cannot leave the building.
