LetsMove.com – a Golazo venture
Golazo is (one of) Europe's largest organizer(s) of recreational running and cycling events. The growing popularity of mobile apps and sport tech as well as the direct consequences of COVID-19 urged Golazo to develop a digital platform that bundles all its products and services in one place, and combine it with complementary offerings from partners. This platform – called LetsMove.com – aims to become the online destination for a healthy lifestyle.
With their deep understanding of digital, and their ability to not only strategize, but also get it done, SparkOptimus has been instrumental in bringing LetsMove.com to life.
We started with a two-day workshop in which we ideated initiatives to lay the foundation of the LetsMove.com platform, including short-term revenue driving initiatives to supplement the platform's offering during COVI D. This was followed by a series of weekly iterations with Golazo's leadership in which we scrutinized the platform's vision & strategy, and selected the tech solution & development partner. Then, we assembled the founding team & kickstarted the platform build.
Take the insights with you
In less than three months, we brought LetsMove.com from plan to go-live with a scalable technology solution & dedicated team. Letsmove.com has now generated the first digital revenues by facilitating virtual events in the absence of physical events, and serves as a solid foundation to accelerate growth into the future with offerings from both Golazo as well as LetsMove.com partners.

VNAB is the trade association of the Dutch co-insurance market, which represents the interests of 96 insurers & brokers. They facilitate large commercial high-risk insurances in the Netherlands through different types of services: supply relevant IT technology products, guarantee knowledge transfer between members, and function as a physical meeting center. SparkOptimus & VNAB jointly defined a vision to work towards the optimal, predictable, and digitally enhanced co-insurance chain for an excellent customer experience.

Biocodex, a global family-owned pharmaceutical company, expanded into the consumer health sector by acquiring IPRAD, a large women's health business, in 2020. Recognizing the growing shift towards online shopping, Biocodex sought to strengthen its ecommerce capabilities. They initiated 3 major projects: e-retail, direct-to-consumer (D2C), marketplace selling, led by a global ecommerce & digital team. These early initiatives highlighted opportunities for further alignment among stakeholders regarding the urgency, current state, and future direction of Biocodex's ecommerce efforts.
In recent years, the energy sector has faced significant disruptions due to the energy crisis and the ongoing transition towards sustainability. Eneco, a leading producer and supplier of natural gas, electricity and heat in the Netherlands, recognized the need to not only adapt to these changing market dynamics but to take the initiative in fostering a shift towards more sustainable consumption behaviours. Their vision was not just to introduce a new product but to catalyze a profound behaviour change that benefits both consumers' wallets and the environment. Driven by a vision to empower consumers with greener, more cost-effective energy choices through dynamic pricing and a broad range of services and products, Eneco partnered with SparkOptimus to kickstart the transformation, set-up and delivery of these innovations.
Budget Thuis is a leading energy and telecom services provider in the Netherlands, committed to providing reliable services at affordable prices. Serving more than a million customers, Budget Thuis holds a prominent position in the industry. Recognizing the substantial potential of Generative AI to enhance internal processes and the customer experience, Budget Thuis faced challenges in realizing its value independently. Therefore, they asked SparkOptimus’ support in identifying and prioritizing company-specific use cases, rapidly testing and proving the value by collaboratively building, testing, and improving MVPs, and designing an organizational setup for long-term, sustainable (Gen) AI innovation.
