What mykori does

mykori Technologies GmbH is a Bielefeld-based SaaS provider, founded in 2021, that operates a grant-management (Fördermanagement) platform purpose-built for German cooperative banks (Genossenschaftsbanken) and savings banks (Sparkassen). The platform digitizes the end-to-end lifecycle of donation and grant applications, replacing manual workflows with configurable approval hierarchies, audit-proof processing, and dashboard reporting; customers report a reduction in per-application processing time from roughly 90 minutes to under 10 minutes. Across 40+ deployed banks, the platform currently handles approximately €32 million in grants annually spanning 36,000 funded projects, with named customer segments including Volksbanken, Raiffeisenbanken, Sparkassen, and PSD Bank.

The company sells exclusively on a subscription SaaS basis with demo-based enterprise pricing, reaching customers through direct field sales and on-site onboarding. The product is certified or aligned with GDPR, EU DORA, and ISO 27001, and the company has engaged DZ CompliancePartner GmbH for a formal risk check-up covering DSGVO, KI-VO, DORA, and information security, addressing the procurement and ICT third-party risk requirements typical of regulated German banks. Distribution is single-country (DACH/Germany), and operations run lean with 1-10 employees. Co-founder Tim Bröker is publicly associated with the company's go-to-market and banking-vertical positioning.

Strategically, mykori has pursued vertical depth over breadth: every disclosed strategic move is oriented toward deepening credibility within the cooperative and savings bank ecosystem, including regulatory hardening (DORA/ISO 27001), compliance partnership with DZ CompliancePartner, and segment expansion from the original Genossenschaftsbanken base into the parallel Sparkassen segment. The company's revenue model is recurring but not publicly disclosed; given the early-stage scale and customer base, ARR is likely sub-€2 million with low visibility into exact figures. There is no disclosed funding, no M&A activity, and no AI/ML capability disclosed in the available data.
