Berlin-based deeploi raises €5.9M Seed funding to turn IT pain into peace; here’s how
Summary
Berlin-based deeploi, creators of an all-in-one IT management platform for SMEs, announced that it has secured $6.5M (approximately €5.97M) in a Seed round of funding. The status quo, where SMEs either have to outsource to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) or overwhelm and overburden their “accidental IT owner”, can’t be the future.” “Both founders of deeploi have known this problem first-hand: Julian through his experience of scaling businesses like McMakler and Philipp as the owner of an MSP, where he saw what was missing from the industry.” “We have been massively impressed by what they have built in not even a year since founding the company, and couldn’t be happier that they picked Atomico to be a partner on their journey,” adds Helbig. Atomico’s analysis reveals that 60 per cent of Germany’s 550,000 SMEs with 20-150 employees rely on non-experts for IT management, creating challenges as technology complexities increase. Founded in 2023 by Julian Lübke and Philipp Hoffman, deeploi‘s tailored platform comprehensively addresses IT needs, streamlining tasks from on- and offboarding to device management, compliance, and cybersecurity. Julian Lübke, co-founder of deeploi says, “For businesses without a specialist IT function and the “accidental IT admin” left to fill in, it can be a struggle just to ensure everyone’s laptop, software and security is up to scratch.
