About us

We design software as if every single watt counted.

Koent is a software and cloud studio that helps companies modernize their IT systems, cutting running costs and improving their environmental impact.

Koent is founded on a simple conviction: the software industry can keep its ambition and drop its waste. We prove it one project at a time — with numbers, not slogans.

Our mission is to make energy efficiency an ordinary part of how software is designed, built and reported — so that the responsible choice becomes the obvious one, because it is also the cheaper and faster one.

Five principles

The Koent manifesto on green computing

These are not aspirations pinned to a wall. They are the rules we design against, every day.

Read the full Manifesto
01

Every watt is a decision

Software does not run in the abstract. It runs on machines that draw power from a grid with a carbon cost. We design as if that cost were on the invoice — because increasingly, it is.

02

Efficiency is measurable, so measure it

We adopt the Software Carbon Intensity specification and instrument real workloads. Estimates start conversations; measurements end them.

03

The greenest compute is the compute you never run

Before scaling out, we scale down: delete dead paths, cache intelligently, and question every recurring job. Restraint is an architecture.

04

Sustainable is also cheaper and faster

Right-sizing and profiling cut cloud bills and latency at the same time. Doing the responsible thing rarely costs more — usually it costs less.

05

Dark by default

Even this website is a small statement: a dark interface draws less power on the screens that read it. Details compound.

How we behave

What holds true whatever we build

Measure, then optimise

No claim ships without a number behind it. We baseline energy and carbon before we touch a line of code.

Efficiency is a feature

Lower energy use means lower cost, faster software and a smaller footprint. It is never a trade-off we bolt on later.

Small, senior teams

You work directly with the people writing the code. No layers, no handoffs, no diluted accountability.
