Jan 24, 2024 | By Team SR
Berlin-based Deeploi secures €6 million in seed funding. The round was led by European VC Atomico with participation from existing investor Cherry Ventures.
Since deeploi’s €3M pre-Seed round in March 2023, the business has grown rapidly, acquiring 30+ customers and scaling to over 20 employees across two offices. As part of this round, Atomico Partner Andreas Helbig will join the deeploi board.

However, the IT domain has been chronically underserved by existing solutions — they only solve one part of the problem (like Mobile Device Management), and are made for professional, full-time IT admins.

These IT management duties are falling to nonspecialists, whose primary responsibilities lie elsewhere. According to Atomico's analysis, 60% of the 550,000 SMEs with 20-150 FTEs in Germany alone rely on these non-experts, who struggle to navigate the plethora of existing tools as IT becomes increasingly complex.

deeploi co-founder Julian Lübke said, “For businesses without a specialist IT function and the “accidental IT admin” left to fill in, it can be a struggle just to ensure everyone’s laptop, software and security is up to scratch, Automating these tasks saves businesses time and money, boosting productivity and growth.”
Philipp Hoffman, deeploi co-founder, added “As the provider of IT management services in a past life, I saw how much stress IT management could cause and how much resource it consumed. But good IT is what keeps businesses running in the modern world. So I’m proud that we’re able to offer a holistic product that cuts costs - not quality.”
Atomico Partner, Andreas Helbig says “Simple and safe IT management is mission-critical for all businesses. The status quo, where SMEs either have to outsource to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) or overwhelm and overburden their “accidental IT owner”, can’t be the future. Both founders of deeploi have known this problem first-hand: Julian through his experience of scaling businesses like McMakler and Philipp as the owner of an MSP, where he saw what was missing from the industry. We have been massively impressed by what they have built in not even a year since founding the company, and couldn’t be happier that they picked Atomico to be a partner on their journey.”
This latest funding round will go towards the expansion of deeploi’s product and engineering, IT support and Go-to-Market teams, and further developing the platform to fit the tech stacks of the modern, cloud-native companies deeploi serves.
