Senior Connect

What Senior Connect does

Senior Connect GmbH is a German HR-Tech startup founded in 2024 that operates an AI-powered job matching platform connecting experienced professionals (typically aged 50 and above) with companies seeking senior talent. The company is headquartered in Schrozberg, Germany, and was established by three founders—Samuel Keitel, Staël Tchinda, and Tim Findeiß—who met while studying at the Technical University of Munich. The core platform is a web-based recommendation engine that analyzes candidate profiles, CVs, preferences, and skills to surface tailored job opportunities, supplemented by generative AI for CV optimization and AI-powered interview training. Operating geographies cover the DACH region (Germany and Switzerland), and the company advertises a talent pool of over 100,000 senior professionals.

The business operates a dual go-to-market model. On the B2C side, job seekers self-register for a freemium tier and can upgrade to Premium (24.99 EUR/month) or Premium+ (89.99 EUR/month), unlocking unlimited AI matching, full CV optimization, AI interview training, and—on the top tier—monthly 1:1 career consulting sessions. On the B2B side, Senior Connect sells AI-powered recruiting access to its senior talent pool and a separate Digital Outplacement product for enterprises in restructuring situations, priced per-employee with deployment ready within one week and claims of 60% faster placement and up to 70% cost savings versus traditional outplacement consulting. The B2B motion is consultative, with initial 30-minute consultations, custom proposals, and dedicated account management.

Senior Connect has accumulated notable ecosystem-level recognition during its first year, including the Senovation Award, Social Impact Award, Deutscher Demografie Preis, AI Munich Ecosystem membership, and EY Startup Academy participation. The company operates with a 1–10 employee team, holds no disclosed revenue, and closed a funding round on March 11, 2025 with Allygatr as the named investor (reported amount $0, consistent with a SAFE or undisclosed equity instrument).
