GovRadar

What GovRadar does

GovRadar GmbH is a Munich-based SaaS company founded in 2020 that sells a cloud-based, AI-powered platform for preparing public procurement tenders (Vergabevorbereitung) in Germany. The product targets municipal, state, and federal agencies — as well as adjacent public-sector buyers such as universities, health insurers, and foundations — and replaces fragmented, document-heavy tender preparation with a collaborative workspace that includes AI-generated Leistungsbeschreibungen built on millions of real procurement documents, an Ausschreibungssuche aggregation layer across 60+ procurement platforms, and revisionssichere (audit-proof) documentation with full version history and approvals. The platform is browser-based, requires no installation, and is positioned for compliance with DSGVO, BSI IT-Grundschutz, and an in-progress ISO 27001 certification (target 2026), with data processing hosted exclusively in German data centers.

The business operates on annual SaaS subscriptions with auto-renewal and a 3-month termination notice. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct enterprise sales supported by 60-minute live demos, combined with two institutional channels — the NRW state license (July 2025) covering 429 municipalities and state agencies, and a Provitako eG framework agreement (September 2025) reaching 53 municipal IT service providers and 7,000+ communes representing roughly 85% of Germany's population. The company is privately held, has raised approximately $1.85M across two seed rounds in 2022 and 2023, employs 11-50 people led by founder/CEO Sascha Soyk together with CRO Charlotte Stollmann and CPO Alexander Müller, and reports 600+ public-sector customers including the Berliner Feuerwehr, Barmer, Universität Erfurt, the Bundesamt für Logistik und Mobilität, and the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung.
