About us

Our history

2008

In 2008, on the university campus at Louvain-la-Neuve, Nicolas Jacobeus made his vision reality. He founded Belighted, a software development agency, to create innovative products that would delight users.

2013

Belighted's growth got noticed. Belighted was nominated by Deloitte as one the 50 fastest growing technology firms in Benelux. We were one of the few services based businesses, and earned the 7th place among all Belgian participants. We made our first dent in the tech universe.

2018

Belighted is growing fast with a 50% increase in yearly revenue. We have added 9 new team members to the family. Each brings skills that will enrich our work for our clients and allow us to do more of what we love: creating and developing software products that grow your business. That's why we decided to recruit our very first marketer, an UX designer and other developers to continue our journey.

2009

From the start, Belighted embraced excellence in modern, efficient technologies like Ruby and its web framework Rails. Relentless focus on quality helped Belighted grow and attract like-minded talent. The company grew to become a passionate team of software engineers, user experience specialists, and project managers.

2017

Over the years, the experience we have gathered on hundreds of projects has resulted in a fine-tuned methodology to set our clients’ software products up for excellent performance. Strategy Workshop > Design Sprint > Software Development / MVP > Iteration on the product

2019

Belighted continues scaling at the same tempo. We are not even half-way through 2019 and we are already proud of our achievements so far: a brand new website, 3 new service lines (Code Review, UX audit & User Testing package) and we continue recruiting to become 25 Belighters by the end of the year.

OUR VALUES

What we are proud of

01
Speaking at events
We like sharing our expertise

We grant the opportunity to our team to attend and speak at events about software product & development to share their expertise.

02
Working remotely
Flexibility enables us to better deliver on projects

We care about our employees' well-being and work-life balance. That's why we enjoy an unlimited remote policy with flexible hours.

03
Conferences
Room for learning & development is key at Belighted

Each Belighted member has an allocated budget to attend worldwide conferences. We have already attented conferences such as RubyConf, React Day, AWS summit, Inbound and many more.

04
Open Source Community
Proponents & users of Open-Source Software

Being proponents and users of open source software in most of our work, we naturally give back to the community. Since the beginning of Belighted, we have patched software such as Ruby on Rails and some of its libraries, and produced our own which we maintain on our Github page.

05
Beerlighted
Our Belgian DNA

Almost all Belighters are beer aficionados, the passion being part of our Belgian culture. We brewed our first batch of "Beerlighted" in 2012 as part of a dedicated team-building event and shared the tasty result with our friends and customers.
