The thesis
International justice runs on software that was never built for it. Commercial e-discovery platforms are cloud-locked to jurisdictions their users don't control. Parliamentary data is public but fragmented. Critical investigative tools are proprietary and unauditable.
Trelvio exists to build the alternative. Each venture addresses a gap where sovereign, open-source infrastructure isn't just better — it's a structural requirement.
Key facts
Jurisdiction by design
EU company formation with full legal standing and GDPR compliance by default. No exposure to US jurisdiction frameworks. Digital-first governance for remote operation.
The international city of peace and justice — home to the ICC, ICJ, OPCW, Europol. Operating here puts Trelvio at the centre of its primary user community.
EU data centres, no US-headquartered cloud. When your users' threat model includes foreign government compulsion, hosting on AWS is a structural risk.
Founder
Sole founder and operator. Designs, builds, and maintains all software, infrastructure, and operations across the portfolio. Based in The Hague.
Solo founder building serious infrastructure is credible when the code is open, the architecture is documented, and institutions can self-host. The bus factor is real, but mitigated by design — every venture is AGPL-3.0, self-hostable, and built on standard technology.
