THE LEGACY RIPPLE
OUR PRODUCTS
Try them right here: a five-monument loop from Waka Quest and a real lesson from VerkeersMeester.
CULTURE & TOURISM
Every country has a culture worth sharing. Waka Quest guides visitors through its history, traditions and symbols, and connects them with the local businesses along the way, so what people learn can also help local economies grow.
The web app is coming soon to Google Play and the Apple App Store.Keep me posted

TRAFFIC EDUCATION
Good road habits start with understanding why a rule exists. VerkeersMeester lets learners practise Surinamese traffic rules on interactive intersections, road signs and mock exams: who goes first, and why? More people then take to the road with insight and care for others.

ABOUT LEGACY
Legacy Technology develops and stewards software that solves meaningful problems, from Paramaribo, Suriname.
Use technology to create meaningful, lasting improvements in people’s lives and for the planet, through a financially sustainable business.
Develop and steward meaningful, human-centred software that helps people turn knowledge into action, build positive habits, solve practical problems and enrich their lives. We start with the smallest responsible use of time, capital and materials and expand where evidence shows that it works.
Build a global portfolio of digital products that helps people make better choices and positively shapes how they live, learn, connect, explore and grow, and that lasts beyond the founder, in the hands of stewards who have the knowledge, resources and authority to carry the work forward.
WHAT WE DO
Legacy Technology develops, owns, manages, operates, licenses and commercialises software products, digital platforms, intellectual property, technology solutions and future ventures. Today that means Waka Quest and VerkeersMeester.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We are not afraid to fail. We are afraid to fail without learning from it.
FOUNDER’S CHARTER
Tap a principle to read it.
Begin with a real problem and the people affected by it. Use the freedom to create to improve their lives, and check whether the product delivers the improvement they need.
Consider who benefits, who bears the costs, what resources the work consumes and how it earns or preserves the money needed to continue. Make trade-offs visible and protect people from material harm.
Use the smallest responsible experiment to test the most important assumption. Reuse proven components and favor changes whose benefits can reach more people with modest additional resources.
Give people work that draws on their strengths and helps them deepen their craft. Make time for practice, feedback and sharing what they learn.
Seek people who take visible care in their craft, share what they know and keep improving it. Give specialists real responsibility, listen to their judgment and define how their work fits together.
Turn intent into a dated next step with an accountable owner. Measure what happened, act on what you learn, and document the decisions and knowledge future stewards will need.
HOW WE DECIDE
We apply these before building, buying, holding, licensing, funding or expanding a product, and when deciding whether to continue or exit. The depth of review matches the resources at risk and the potential impact on users.
FOUNDER INSPIRATION
The founder believes the ability to create is humanity’s greatest gift, and with it comes a responsibility: to build things that lift people up, leave the world better than we found it, and last beyond those who made them.
