What 11bytes GmbH does

11bytes GmbH is a privately held German software agency headquartered in Fellbach, Baden-Württemberg, formerly operating as gourami UG (haftungsbeschränkt). The company delivers custom digital transformation solutions for healthcare, e-commerce, and publishing clients in the DACH region, operating from a 100% distributed international team of approximately five named specialists across Germany, Poland, and Spain.

The agency's core technical stack centers on Laravel, WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Docker, and Google Cloud, with growing AI capabilities including LangGraph-based agentic workflows for medical practice automation, Rust-based desktop clients for healthcare integration, and AI chatbots trained on document corpora. Notable proprietary platforms include the MOMAS WordPress maintenance platform, the Health E-Com Personalization Platform delivered for the Zur Rose Group, and the ampstream Live-Event Platform operated through a joint venture with neokom.tv.

11bytes operates a sales-led, B2B-only go-to-market model, initiating engagements through free consultations booked via Calendly with Managing Director Steffen Dressler. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based custom development contracts, one-time e-commerce implementation fees, and a small recurring web hosting subscription stream. The company is founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding, angel, or institutional investment. Notable enterprise clients include Zur Rose Group, WARTH, Bauhelden Media, RESULT (Marktforschungs-Institut), neokom.tv, and WP-Wartung24, alongside an AI PoC engagement with German medical practices.
