What SYNEXIT does

SYNEXIT GmbH is a Vienna-based IT company founded in 2011 that builds and operates a cloud-based, white-label SaaS community platform. The company operates two complementary business lines: (i) a consumer-facing network of 70+ interest-based communities unified under the GemeinsamErleben umbrella brand, serving over 1,000,000 members across the DACH region with branded portals including Spontacts, Friendseek, Freizeitpartnerboerse, Sportpartnerboerse, Reisepartnerboerse, Tennispartnerboerse, and Golfpartnerboerse; and (ii) a B2B white-label SaaS offering licensed to enterprises, retailers, media companies, and associations/clubs seeking branded community experiences. The underlying platform features modular architecture configurable to client specifications, supporting newsfeeds, posts, groups, activities, events, discussions, surveys, search, user profiles with 94 data points, messaging, notifications, GDPR-compliant consent management, interest-based partner matching, and full-responsive (72% mobile) design.

SYNEXIT generates revenue through four streams: SaaS software licensing (subscription fees starting at €1,000/month for network-integrated communities and €3,000/month for dedicated-domain SaaS solutions including administration and technical user support), advertising placements (native banners across 200M+ monthly page views), community and Plus sponsorship programs, and an affiliate referral program. The company is privately held and founder-managed by Managing Partner Alexander Lendl, with no disclosed institutional investors or external funding rounds; the firm has self-funded growth including the October 2021 acquisition of Spontacts. Operating geographies are concentrated in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, though the SaaS delivery model is positioned for global deployment. The company employs between 11 and 50 people and operates from two Vienna office locations (19th and 7th districts).
