Storecove
👤 Dolf Kars (Serial founder — built and sold Videostrip to RTL. In 2014 he bet early on Peppol, years before mandates forced it.)🌐 siteLinkedIn
An early, boring bet on e-invoicing plumbing in 2014. A decade of new mandates turned it into forced, global demand.
Will it work? · our read
Early beats clever. A patient bet on e-invoicing infrastructure that only paid once governments made it mandatory. Early and boring wins — if you can survive the decade-long wait for the law.

Revenue is EST — Storecove has never disclosed ARR/MRR. The 'about $2-4M' figure is my inference from about 13 staff, bootstrapped status ($159K total raised, per Crunchbase) and enterprise API/volume pricing; treat as unverified. First-party/verified: founders (Dolf Kars, Willem Stemfoort, Michael Riviera), 2014 founding, 31+ country coverage, certified Peppol + DBNAlliance access point, and customer names (Certinia, Vattenfall, Censof) from Storecove's own site. No drama here: this was a patient, early bet on a mandate wave that later arrived — won on timing and persistence, not a single dramatic move. The 'dies' acquisitions (Vertex/ecosio, Xero/Tickstar) and e-invoice.be's EUR 0.18/invoice price are documented and sourced. We never score you.
