AG5 positions its services as a replacement for traditional Excel-based matrices in manufacturing, logistics, and safety-critical industries.
History
[edit]AG5 was founded in 2019 by brothers Rick and Mathieu van Echtelt, along with Wouter Gazendam.[1] The founders identified a gap in how companies manage workforce competencies and compliance, particularly in shift-based or regulated environments.
The platform was designed to reduce reliance on spreadsheets for tracking employee certifications and improve visibility across operational teams.[2]
In March 2023, AG5 raised €6 million in a seed funding round led by Headline, Peak, and Acadian Ventures to scale its product and expand into additional international markets.[3]
