Overview
Geert founded Lansweeper in 2004 in Merelbeke, Belgium, initially as a freeware IT inventory scanner for Windows networks. The product enabled automated detection and cataloging of hardware, software, and user data without requiring agents on endpoints, a capability enterprises found deeply useful at scale.
Over two decades, Lansweeper evolved from an IT inventory tool into a full technology asset intelligence platform supporting IT, OT, IoT, and cloud asset management. The company raised EUR 130M from Insight Partners, with Dovesco as co-investor. Lansweeper serves over 28,000 customers including Mercedes, Carlsberg, Nestle, IBM, and Samsung, and monitors 80M+ connected devices. Current CEO is Dave Goossens, who joined in 2019.
