The Story of Bit Platform: From a Technical Team in Tehran to Software Development in the Heart of Europe

It all started with a concern that had occupied the mind of Yaser Moradi, an experienced software developer, for years:

“Why do so many valuable ideas never make it to execution?”

In various software companies, he had seen people with big ideas that could not only transform their own lives but also solve real problems in society if turned into products. But there was always one major obstacle:

The complex and time-consuming process of software development.

From multilingual support and SEO to building apps simultaneously for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The path was so complicated and drawn-out that many people abandoned their ideas halfway through.

That’s where Bit Platform was born, a smart assistant for developers, built to help them create products with minimal coding.

Code Once, Deploy Four Times

Bit Platform is an open-source, full-stack, and cross-platform framework that enables developers to build applications for four Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac, all with a single codebase.

By offering pre-built features and components, the platform not only drastically reduces development time, but also allows developers to stay focused on their core ideas instead of getting lost in technical complexity and repetitive tasks.

Bit’s users include independent developers and software development companies. From the very beginning, the platform was built with a global vision and based on the C# programming language which is widely used in North America, Canada, India, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

Hearing the Users: The Key to Competing in the Global Startup Ecosystem

To achieve this, the Bit team didn’t rely on guesswork. Instead, they went straight to the source: their users, the developers.
They simply asked:

“What stops you from using our platform?”

The answers were honest and direct. And those honest insights became Bit’s roadmap for entering the global market.

A Global Product Born in Tehran: The Start of Bit’s Journey Toward International Entrepreneurship

Bit started its journey in Iran in 2021. But from day one, there were major challenges in the local market: The first challenge was the relatively small developer community in Iran.
The second? Many international users were hesitant to trust or pay for a product tied to an Iranian brand. On top of that, political sanctions made international payments nearly impossible, except through cryptocurrencies, which came with their own limitations.

That’s why the Bit team decided to take a bold step: going international, backed by a professional team.

Starting a Global Journey with Reevolve: From Tehran to the Dutch Startup Ecosystem

At this stage, Bit decided to begin its startup migration journey with the support of Reevolve’s internationalization team. The first step was choosing the right destination.

Initially, Canada was the main candidate, a significant portion of Bit’s users were already based there. But after a closer look, the long and complicated process of Canada’s Startup Visa — sometimes taking over 30 months — led the Bit team to reconsider.

They began searching for a country that truly aligned with their needs and goals. Their priorities were clear: a place where English was widely spoken, so they could focus on building their product without the extra challenge of learning a new language; a country with minimal racial or cultural bias, where they could work in an open, inclusive environment; and strong government support for innovative startups, somewhere with the infrastructure to help a startup grow.

After carefully evaluating all of these criteria, Reevolve’s team identified the Netherlands as the ideal destination.(Full Guide on the Dutch Startup Visa)

The Netherlands stood out not only for its widespread use of English, open and inclusive society, and strong government support for startups, but also for having a transparent and flexible startup visa program. Revolve selected the most suitable facilitator for Bit — one that not only secured their approval from the Dutch government but also provided workspace and housing from day one.

Even after arrival, Revolve stayed by Bit’s side, offering expert consulting, strategic development, and step-by-step guidance to help the brand establish and grow in the European market.

Early Culture Shocks in the Netherlands: The Entrepreneurial Migration Experience in the Heart of Europe

One of Bit’s first surprises upon arriving in the Netherlands was a simple but critical reality: almost no one accepted cash. Everything was done via bank card.
But soon, a bigger issue surfaced, opening a bank account.

For the Bit team, this process took longer than expected due to certain operational challenges. During this time, their facilitator played a vital role: covering essential payments on behalf of the team until their account became active, ensuring daily life and work didn’t come to a halt. This experience reinforced the importance of having a committed, business-savvy facilitator on their side.

But the differences didn’t stop there. Mr. Moradi, Bit’s founder, was soon introduced to a very different work culture: from Friday afternoon until Monday morning, professional life in the Netherlands virtually paused. No meetings, no email replies, and almost no activity even from startups.

This lifestyle stood in stark contrast to the “always-on, 24/7 hustle” mindset that dominates Iran’s startup culture.

Building Trust in International Markets: The Key Challenge for Any Migrant Startup

Even though the product’s infrastructure was designed from day one for the global market, competing with major international players revealed a central issue: Trust.

When a company chooses a software development platform, they’re effectively choosing a long-term tech partner. And that choice doesn’t happen without trust.

To earn that trust, the Bit team turned to strategic networking on two key fronts: LinkedIn and Reddit.

On LinkedIn, their approach was to connect directly with key individuals from experienced developers to decision-makers at companies. They carefully identified these people, published relevant content, and followed up with personalized messages introducing their product.

On Reddit, the strategy was different. The platform thrives on open conversations and real interactions. So instead of direct promotion, the Bit team joined technical discussions, answered questions, and gradually built recognition as a serious and trustworthy player among users.

Trust isn’t built overnight. But through consistency and genuine engagement, Bit earned it one conversation at a time.

A Story From Lived Experience: From Startup Migration to a Sense of Belonging in the Dutch Ecosystem

After three years of living and working in the Netherlands, Yaser Moradi now considers the country his second home. As he puts it, it’s a place where people are free from prejudice, the local language doesn’t get in the way of communication, and there’s a society that, if you want, you can truly become part of.

He says:

“If I could go back, I’d still choose this path. I’d just start earlier.”

And for those just beginning their journey, he offers some serious advice:

“If you have an idea, don’t be afraid. Start as soon as possible. Especially in international markets, professional networking and building relationships are more essential than anything.”

Final Note

Bit is a real-life example of a startup that, with the right idea, a committed team, and professional support, crossed borders and became a global brand.

If you’re dreaming of going global, Reevolve is here to support you, from choosing the right country, facilitator, or accelerator, to preparing documentation like business plans, identifying the best startup visa program for you, activating your professional network, and entering international markets.
