HD Solutions

What HD Solutions does

HD Solutions, operating as HD Digital Solutions GmbH (HRB 87779, Amtsgericht Köln), is a Cologne-based digital venture builder founded and led by Managing Directors Moritz Delbrück (Business) and André Hoendgen (IT). The firm operates with a lean two-person core team that draws on a large curated network of external specialists spanning product management, UX/UI, development, legal, science, strategy, pricing, market research, and business analysis to deliver engagements. Its positioning is narrowly focused on highly regulated German-speaking industries — InsurTech, HealthTech, and LegalTech — where it converts regulatory complexity into a competitive moat for clients.

The company offers two core service lines. Product Solutions delivers custom digital products — including mobile applications, software, IT consulting, project management, and product testing — integrated into the client's existing IT infrastructure, with project budgets starting at €500,000. Company Building extends this into turnkey venture creation, encompassing product development, team recruitment, marketing conception, financial and liquidity planning, and business model development, with seven-figure budgets for the first two project phases. Underlying technology is custom software and mobile application development; no proprietary platform, framework, or AI/ML capability is disclosed.

HD Solutions generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven professional services engagements sold via a consultative, relationship-led motion anchored by a free 30-minute "digital coffee" discovery session. Pricing is not publicly listed but is structured as multi-year contracts at minimum €500K entry points. Customers are primarily mid-to-large enterprises and scale-ups in insurance, healthcare, and legal, with stated outcomes including 20+ digital companies built, products serving millions of users, and 500+ employees managed across prior ventures. The firm is privately held, discloses no external investors, and reports no funding rounds or revenue figures.

Direct peers

• iteratec: Stuttgart-based digital agency specializing in custom software, mobile apps, and IT architecture for enterprise and regulated-industry clients; competes in the same premium German digital-build segment as HD.
• Rocket Internet: Berlin-based venture builder and startup studio; comparable in the explicit creation of standalone digital ventures with dedicated teams, though at much larger scale than HD's boutique model.
• inovex: German digital solutions company offering custom software development, mobile apps, and IT consulting to enterprise clients — closely aligned with HD's Product Solutions track in delivery model and customer base.
• Neugelb (Futurice): DACH digital product studio now part of Futurice, focused on co-creating digital products and ventures with corporate clients; the co-entrepreneur-style venture-building model is highly analogous to HD's Company Building offering.
• SinnerSchrader (Accenture Song): Hamburg-based digital agency acquired by Accenture that built enterprise digital products and platforms for German corporates — a directly comparable model of senior-led, project-based digital product and venture work for regulated and large-enterprise clients.

Broad incumbents

• IDEO: Global design and innovation firm with a long history of corporate-ventures work in regulated industries; the 'co-entrepreneur with corporates' framing of HD's Company Building offering is structurally similar to IDEO's venture and innovation engagements.
• Materna: Larger German IT services and digital transformation provider serving public sector and regulated industries; overlaps with HD in custom software and IT consulting but operates at significantly greater scale and breadth.
• Capgemini Invent: Global digital transformation and innovation consultancy that increasingly targets InsurTech and HealthTech transformation programs — competes with HD for the same regulated-industry innovation budgets but as part of a much wider portfolio.
• Frog (frog design): Global design and innovation consultancy with deep experience in regulated industries (finance, healthcare); the venture-design and corporate-innovation positioning is directly comparable to HD, but at global scale and across broader verticals.
• Publicis Sapient: Global digital business transformation firm with strong insurance and financial services practices; competes with HD for large enterprise digital-ventures and modernization mandates, offering global scale HD cannot match.
