What Attempto does

Attempto GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German IT consulting and software development firm founded in April 2006 by Franz Berno Breitruck and headquartered in Oberhaching near Munich. The company operates from five locations across Germany (Oberhaching, Munich, Münster, Karlsruhe) and Switzerland (Stansstad via the 2026-founded attempto Schweiz AG) with approximately 150 employees. It delivers customer-specific software development and IT consulting to enterprise and public-sector clients in banking, insurance, industry, retail, and the public sector, combining strategy, consulting, and implementation services under one roof.

The company's core technology stack focuses on AI, cloud-native architectures, and modern software engineering, supported by two internal innovation units: the attempto Innovations-Manufaktur ('aim') for ongoing idea generation and product incubation, and the attempto Lab (founded 2021 under Alexander Bloß) for trend scouting in Kubernetes, DevOps, and cloud-native ecosystems. Proprietary products include Bio123 (organic-products discovery platform, awarded the 2015 German Innovation Award IT), Profilery (AI-supported workforce profile management), Treeam (eco-depot for reforestation donations, co-developed with Fairventures Worldwide), SmartWatcher (blockchain-based screen-time reduction), the Alexa Show (voice-controlled care-sector solution), and a Kubernetes-as-a-Service platform. Credentials include ISO/IEC 27001 certification (DEKRA-audited), EcoVadis sustainability rating, and a fair.digital seal.

Attempto is a founder-owned entity structured as a GmbH & Co. KG with general-partner attempto Verwaltungs-GmbH. The business has been entirely bootstrapped with no venture capital or private equity involvement disclosed. Revenue derives primarily from professional services (IT consulting and custom software development on a quote-based, project-specific pricing model) supplemented by recurring product revenue from the proprietary portfolio. The go-to-market relies on direct enterprise sales, long-term client relationships, the aim event series at the Munich WERK3 venue, conference presence (JBFOne, Atruvia Tech Days), university partnerships (TU München, Hochschule Pforzheim), and earned media from nine consecutive TOP 100 Innovation Awards and four TOP CONSULTANT seals.
