A brand from 2019, relaunched
The name AI Heroes has existed since 2019. At the end of 2025, Frans Hoorn, David Homan and Jan Brusse took over the brand and the client relationships from the previous owner and relaunched it.
Frans spent three years in the management of the original AI Heroes, David two years in its operations. AI Heroes B.V. was founded in Groningen on 1 May 2026. Since then we have been building from the Aarhusweg for organisations across the Netherlands and Europe.
Why AI Heroes exists
The AI market is fragmented. Advisory firms write reports, training firms train and leave, tech companies build tools few people use.
We build what your team uses every day, and keep maintaining it.
What we believe in
-
Honesty over sales
If AI is not the answer, we say so. If the business case does not add up, we do not build.
-
Custom over standard
We build what fits your work, even when that is software without AI.
-
We build ourselves
We advise and we build. Our own AI assistant runs on this site, hosted in Europe.

Groningen
Rooted in Groningen, where the AI Factory is coming. A local base and a European reach.
The three founders
Each of them leads one part of the same process: the business case, the build and the training of your people.
Built in Groningen
AI Capital of Europe
The AI Factory brings 200 million euros of AI computing power to Groningen. Around it grows an ecosystem of research institutions, start‑ups and companies putting AI to work. AI Heroes sits in the middle of it, on the Aarhusweg. From there we build for organisations across the Netherlands and Europe.
