We’re thrilld to team up with Xablu Venture Studio, a global consultancy firm building ventures, products, and teams, and helping projects work towards their goals.

What We Are Building Together
‍

We have known the team behind Xablu for a while now, and are thrilld to partner with them. From the end of Q1 2026, Xablu Venture Studio has been working alongside ourselves to accelerate the development and scaling of our two applications. Instead of building towards assumptions only, we are doubling down on outpuc and focussing on what proves to have value in the market. In terms of our working methadology, that means, creating a tighter feedback loop, sharper prioritization, and hence less wasted effort in time and cash.

The co-creation of our upcoming product offerings is sincerely build upon our shared belief in Web3 as well as the real world conviction to build and scale good products in the Web3 and events space, together and as real partners. Hence, we're directly combining Thrilld Labs’ domain expertise with Xablu Venture Studio’s, indeed, venture-building expertise .

More precisely, the collaboration comes in light of our new dApp, Thrilld Events, and additional features as well as updates in the Thrilld Networking App, and finally for the software, tech, and platforms used in our company internally. Decisions are made jointly, with a strong focus on speed, clarity, and outcomes.

As a co-builder, the Xablu team works directly with our team on product strategy, development, G2M, and scaling.


Two Dutch Yet International Companies

Just like Thrilld Labs, Xablu is a Dutch company with a globally distributed team.

Built by CEO Henk Kok and Managing Partner Arjan ten Buuren who both bring years of experience in software development, project building, and even investing, their team works to co-create and build companies through services such as strategic advising and coaching, to up-skilling teams, and product and software development.

‍

Xablu operates through a product management perspective, whereby they outline a clear process of product development from the initial conceptualization to final deployment. This is meant to ensure trackable progress (for all parties involved), transparency (what we love), and that a project is finished within a timely manner.

Development & Venture Building

‍

A rather foundational service that we will draw attention to is about their expertise for web, mobile and desktop application development and DevOps. This much comes at hand as we are scaling the networking app for the upcoming event season and beyond. New features shall be developed with more focus, existing user and event experiences are refined, and the overall offering shall become more scalable.

Xablu also supports our project by designing the UX (user experience) and user journeys, which becomes key, especially in terms of our new Thrilld Events offering. Beyond this initial planning and design, the new application shall be audited, tested, measured, and adjusted to continuously improve the product experience. At Thrilld Labs, we remain much impressed as we develop Thrilld Events and the next phase of the networking app, with a stronger offering for sponsors and conferences, in close collaboration with Xablu’s team. To read in more depth about their offerings, visit their services page here.
