    Stackgini emerges from stealth: With DAX-40 customers and a mission to revolutionize IT decisions

    Hamburg, Germany, July 2025. After a year of intensive product development and customer acquisition in stealth mode, Stackgini today announces the successful close of its Pre-Seed funding round from April 2024. The company is backed by leading early-stage investors High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) and xdeck Ventures, along with prominent SaaS business angels including Julius Göllner (ARRtist), Dr. Niklas Hellemann (SoSafe), Frank Piotraschke (SoSafe) and Lukas Gottschick (Pliant).

    At market launch Stackgini sees high demand, both from DAX-40 corporations and well-known names such as Endress + Hauser, Grünenthal, Badenova and Louis Motorräder, who already use the solution in production.

    IT departments manage large IT portfolios (often more than 1,000 solutions), while business units submit new demands every day. Manually coordinating these requests across departments, systems and siloed data slows decision-making and quickly creates unnecessary license costs and added complexity. Stackgini offers an alternative: a data-driven platform that helps enterprises efficiently evaluate, select and optimize their IT landscape.

    We founded Stackgini to solve a problem every enterprise knows: fragmented, manual and slow IT decisions. Our platform learns from existing IT stacks, contextualizes new IT demands and proactively drives reuse of existing IT solutions, at the speed modern IT needs."

    The intelligent co-worker for IT departments

    Stackgini's mission is to fundamentally modernize demand management. Since closing its pre-seed in April 2024, the company has been building its platform in close collaboration with customers. The product uses proprietary AI to analyze internal IT portfolios, IT demands and market data, and to recommend actionable IT solutions in real time. Stackgini supports teams from IT governance, enterprise architecture and IT procurement as a true co-worker.

    Stackgini is a real game changer for our demand management: we collaborate early and data-driven with the business and make well-founded decisions, preventing unnecessary cost and shadow IT."

    Backed by leading early-stage investors

    The pre-seed round was led by High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) and xdeck Ventures.

    We back Stackgini because the team pursues an innovative, scalable approach to a universal enterprise problem. With growing IT complexity and a shortage of architecture and procurement specialists, AI-supported decision-making has enormous potential."

    The road ahead

    With growing traction, Stackgini is now focused on expanding its engineering, customer success and go-to-market teams. The company is also deepening integrations with existing governance, procurement and IT architecture systems, with the goal of enabling clean IT decisions in days, not months.

    "Our goal is simple: become the AI-powered backbone for IT decisions." Johannes Bock
