Our story

POINT05 was founded in Amsterdam in May 2023 by two data enthusiasts who want to get more out of their freelance career. You can’t stay on top of all innovations in the data field. No one can. The best way to stay relevant is to surround yourself with other experts.

From this belief, we started building our network of top-quality freelancers in the data domain. Our network now contains over 40 independent consultants with backgrounds in Data Engineering, Data Science, Analytics Engineering, Machine Learning and Data Strategy.

Through our Data & AI community, POINT05 helps organizations on interim Data & AI basis, executes custom Data & AI projects or provides Analytics as a Service.

We work together where possible, proactively share knowledge and pick up new projects where opportunities arise.

Our values

Quality comes first. Always. We have strict admission criteria on technical skills, work experience and interpersonal skills. We need this to ensure we can live up to the standards our clients expect from us.

Our community is trust based. We value honesty, share learnings and help each other where needed. We don’t operate with formal contracts, freedom for our members is key.
