HR software and workflow-centric B2B software have long been among our core areas of focus. Ingentis stood out through its unique position at the intersection of HR data, organizational visualization, and workforce management. With org.manager, the company had already established the leading organizational charting solution in the DACH region. Its portfolio also included orginio for the SMB market and Ingentis Kanzlei.Suite for tax advisors and law firms. Combined with an exceptionally loyal customer base, deep integrations with leading HR systems, and significant international growth potential, Ingentis represented a compelling investment opportunity.
Equally important to our investment thesis was the continuity of the founding team. Ingentis was founded in 1997 by Thomas Eichinger, Michael Grimm, Jürgen Kreppner, and Wolfgang Schuller. When Maguar became the majority investor in 2021, the founders remained in leadership positions while retaining a significant minority stake. This combination of entrepreneurial continuity, deep product expertise, and long-term commitment made the partnership particularly compelling.
During our partnership, the focus was on accelerating the international expansion of an already strong founder-led business while further advancing its transition to SaaS. Over this period, Ingentis significantly increased its recurring SaaS revenues, continued its strong growth trajectory, expanded its presence in North America, and further strengthened both its product portfolio and partner ecosystem.
