StartMail: the HSD Campus feels like a seamless fit

StartMail operates the privacy search engines Ixquick and StartPage.com; to be able to search for information without being tracked or profiled is crucial in any privacy-respecting society. Beside our search engines we have developed StartMail: a privacy respecting email platform which offers "easy to use email encryption".

StartMail’s COO Alex van Eesteren says: "We believe online-privacy is a fundamental human right and it’s our mission to offer privacy friendly alternatives to the existing big tech-companies; not being based in the US has become an important competitive advantage for us." To facilitate our fast growing company we needed more office space in The Hague, the HSD Campus feels like a seamless fit for us given of the synergy with the other companies within the HSD Campus. The flexibility of the HSD Campus was another important reason for us, Alex continues; “we are a typical internet company: spread around the world with several local teams but with the desire to come together regularly. The flexible office space at HSD makes this possible for us”.
