Cathy Bogaerts

TLDR

Cathy Bogaerts is the co-founder of Trikker, the Lier-based electrical-schema software company that she and Kurt De Vocht built through Bluebits BVBA and sold to Anchr Software in March 2025.

Overview

Bogaerts co-founded Bluebits BVBA in 2009 with Kurt De Vocht and ran the operational side of the business as the Trikker product became the standard tool for Belgian electricians preparing the legally required inspection diagrams. By the time of the 2025 exit the product had over 14,000 active licences and an estimated 70 to 80 percent market share among independent Belgian installers.

After the 26 March 2025 acquisition by Anchr Software, a portfolio company of Strada Partners, Bogaerts stepped out of operational management in the short term, handing day-to-day leadership to Anchr while the new owner moved Trikker toward a subscription model and international expansion into the Netherlands, Germany, and beyond.
