What Carpe Verba! Gmbh & Co. Kg does

Carpe Verba! GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German professional services firm headquartered in Regensburg, Bavaria, founded in 2008 and operating with 1–10 employees under a GmbH & Co. KG structure (general partner: Carpe verba! Management GmbH). The firm delivers training, executive coaching, and organizational development services across five competency areas: Leadership (Führung), Innovation & Transformation, Personal Growth (Persönlich wachsen), Pyramidale Kommunikation, and Collaboration & Team Culture (Zusammenarbeit & Teamkultur). Service delivery spans in-house corporate engagements, open public seminars, executive coaching and sparring, and self-paced e-learning modules through the Carpe Verba E-Academy.

The firm's core intellectual property is methodological rather than technological. It has developed and trademarked proprietary frameworks — notably PERMA-Lead® (a Positive Psychology-based leadership and 360° feedback instrument) and Resilienz-Zirkel-Training® (a resilience methodology) — and integrates third-party tools such as SIZE PROZESS® for personality profiling and the Minto Pyramid Principle for structured communication. There is no core technology platform; AI, APIs, and software products are not part of the offering. The customer base is concentrated in the DACH region and includes named enterprises such as DEHN SE (12+ year relationship), Bayernwerk Netz GmbH, E.ON Energie Deutschland, Continental, Barmenia, BTC AG, Boehringer Ingelheim, Siemens Logistics, MTU, and Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Wohnen, Bau und Verkehr.

The business model is predominantly B2B professional services with three revenue streams: (1) customized Inhouse corporate training and consulting on a quote-based, often multi-year contract basis; (2) open enrollment seminars and individual 1:1 coaching on a per-participant/per-session basis; and (3) self-serve e-learning products via the E-Academy at fixed per-license pricing (e.g., €249 for an 8-hour course). Pricing for the majority of offerings is not publicly disclosed, and no revenue figures are reported in the available sources. GTM relies on direct enterprise field sales supplemented by content marketing, an educational blog, LinkedIn/Instagram/Facebook presence, email newsletters, and a strong testimonial/reference program with long-standing clients.
