We refuse to accept
the way things are.
Every year, more than €300 billion in public contracts are awarded in Germany. The mid-market makes up 99% of all companies — yet wins only around 30% of the contract volume. Not because it is any worse. But because a wall of forms, deadlines and regulations stands in the way. That is exactly where the lever is.
The problem has a name: godless bureaucracy.
It devours time that is needed elsewhere. It costs nerves that no one has to spare. And it weeds out precisely those who keep our society running: the skilled trades, the IT service providers, the planners, the regional mid-sized companies. 30 to 60 hours of effort — for a single application. One wrong field on page 12 — and all of it was for nothing.
This is no force of nature. It is a system that has become so complicated that it betrays its own purpose. It is meant to create fair competition — yet it excludes the capable, because they have no procurement department of their own.
We will not allow personal motivation and economic opportunity to fail because of bureaucracy in the procurement process.
So that no one with something to offer is broken by bureaucracy.
We believe that those who do good work should also be able to reach public contracts — without fighting their way through a thicket that screens them out anyway. Public procurement is taxpayers' money. It belongs to the fairest offer, not to the one with the largest procurement department. That is exactly what we stand up for.
We open up access to public contracts.
We are building the world in which taking part in a tender is as natural as writing an invoice. In which software does the legwork and people make the decisions. In which "procurement jungle" is a phrase of the past.
We start in Germany — with the companies that lose out today even though they could deliver. Step by step, we democratize access to public contracts. That is no modest goal. It is not meant to be.
We make access radically simple.
We search over 100 portals, prepare the documents, surface eligibility criteria and key facts instantly, and bring order to the chaos — with software built for the mid-market. And where experience makes the difference, real people are ready to help. We don't talk about digitalisation. We deliver it — fast, honest, effective.
BOLD.
Four values guide every decision we make.
Distinctive, precise, structured. We make the complicated understandable — no ifs or buts.
Confident, courageous, dependable. We stay the course until it works — and make the hard decisions too.
Honest, approachable, solution-oriented. Reachable, with no sales team in between. Brutally honest when it counts.
Visionary, profound, groundbreaking. We measure ourselves by one thing: we want to truly change something.
