Product and engineering. Turns business problems into scoped, shippable first versions.
03 / Our story
Built in Cologne. Designed for what's next.
ERDE Labs exists to close the gap between good business ideas and working software. Most companies don't lack ideas. They lack a team that can turn one into a product in weeks and keep improving it afterwards.
Mission
Make product development accessible to companies that don't have a product team.
Vision
Every mid-sized company runs on software built around its own way of working, not around a vendor's template.
The team.

How we stay small
A core team in Cologne, plus a network of specialists we bring in per lab: 3D artists, ML engineers, mobile developers.
Work with usWhat we believe.
Built around your business.
Technology should adapt to your workflow, not the other way around.
AI where it makes sense.
We use AI to solve real problems, not to decorate products.
Start lean.
Launch the useful version first. Learn, then expand.
Built to evolve.
Products should scale with the company that runs them.
