What interaktiv . Perspektiven does

interaktiv . Perspektiven is a German gemeinnützige Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (gGmbH) headquartered in Ratingen, North Rhine-Westphalia, founded in 1998 as a homework supervision initiative and grown into a multi-divisional social services provider. The organization operates three integrated divisions: Schule (school services including Offene Ganztagsschule / OGS full-day care, holiday care, Schulbegleitung school accompaniment, and catering across 50+ school locations in NRW, Niedersachsen, and München); Soziales (child and youth welfare services covering outpatient and residential Jugendhilfe, inclusion support, autism therapy via the Heiligenhaus Autismus-Zentrum, and housing support); and Sport (a 3. Liga Süd-West handball club, youth programs, and camps). An internal interaktiv . Akademie delivers certificate courses (Zertifikatskurse) in Ganztagsschule management, Schulbegleitung, Führungskraft leadership, and Sport to both staff and external paying participants.

The business model is a hybrid of B2B public-sector contracts and B2C subscription care fees. School trusteeship (Trägerschaft) contracts with municipalities and individual schools form the anchor revenue layer, while recurring monthly parent fees collected via SEPA direct debit provide volume-based subscription revenue from individual families. The Akademie adds a unit-priced professional services revenue stream from external course participants. The underlying technology stack is non-differentiated — a WordPress website with Azure AD SSO for employees and Google Analytics for web traffic — with no disclosed proprietary platform, mobile app, or API surface; service delivery is fundamentally on-site, labor-intensive, and geographic.

The organization reports 700+ employees serving more than 14,000 children, youth, and families annually, with the School division recording 30% revenue growth in 2023/24 driven by seven new school partnerships. Leadership is family-controlled: founder Rolf Schlierkamp was succeeded by Bastian Schlierkamp as Geschäftsführer. The entity is non-listed, non-profit, and has no identified external investors, with all surplus reinvested into services.
