Berlin: building fast for startups, carefully for everyone’s data

Berlin is Germany’s startup capital and a magnet for creative industries, media and international teams who work in English as much as in German. It is also a city where data protection is taken seriously by users, regulators and the press. Companies here want to move quickly without being careless, and they expect their suppliers to understand both sides of that.

Speed and privacy are not opposites

A Berlin startup wants to ship. Its users, its investors and German law want their data handled properly. We build with both in mind from the start: hosting in the EU, clear consent where it is needed, access rights by role, and no third-party tracking unless you decide you want it. These are design decisions, not a layer added before launch.

The same applies to AI automation. Documents, emails and support requests can be processed automatically, but the data stays with you and is never used to train models. We write down exactly what is processed, where and why, so you can answer the question when a customer or an authority asks it.

Where we can help in Berlin

  • Startups and scale-ups. A first product version, a module nobody has time to build, or a rewrite of the part that no longer scales.
  • E-commerce and marketplaces. Fast storefronts, catalogue tools and automated handling of returns and support requests.
  • Creative studios and media. Portfolio sites that load instantly, and tools that track briefs, productions and deliverables.
  • Public bodies and associations. Accessible information sites and member or applicant portals that work for everyone.

Working with an English-speaking remote partner

Calls in your hours

Video calls are scheduled in Berlin working hours, and everything else is written down.

English or French

Scoping, documentation and support in English, or in French for teams who prefer it; German-language content is provided or reviewed by you.

EU hosting

The site or tool runs in the EU, in Germany if you want it there, with documented backups and access.

Remote, in practice

We work with Berlin remotely, with no office in Germany and no on-site meetings. Everything happens in writing and on video calls, in English, in Berlin working hours; the product is demonstrated as it is built, and every decision is recorded.

Common questions

Can you work in German?

Our working languages are English and French. German text on a site or in a tool is written or reviewed by you or a translator you choose, and we make sure every language version is complete.

Where will our data be hosted?

In the EU, in Germany if you prefer, with a hosting provider you approve. The tools we build also run on your own infrastructure.

Can you join an existing engineering team?

Yes. We follow your conventions, your code review process and your tooling, and deliver in small steps so reviews stay easy.
