We have has raised more than €4M, including a €2.9M seed round (Feb 2025) led by People Ventures, Interface Capital, and a strong bench of angels. We already serve 400+ customers across Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, and we're just getting started.

• Taking end-to-end ownership for features from start to finish from inputting into initial design and planning all the way through to implementation, testing, and delivery.

• Help in improving our API architecture to ensure scalability, maintainability, and optimal performance while integrating cutting-edge technologies and adhering to best practices.

• Keep our platform stable so we can continue to deliver a high-level of availability to our customers

• Scale our services so we can ingest larger volumes of data, more efficiently

Who you are
