About us

Our company was founded in 2019 by a team at Axel Springer to digitize the board office, which later developed into a separate company that is now managed by an experienced founding team with extensive start-up experience. We are already reaching many well-known companies with our enterprise software, with over 10% of DAX companies already relying on our solution. Our company is fast-growing and constantly offers new challenges and thus the opportunity to quickly gain a lot of experience in certain areas.
