At Pliant, we're building the next generation of corporate payment infrastructure with a culture that prioritizes technical excellence and collaborative problem-solving. Our team of fintech veterans and payment experts works in cross-functional squads where engineers, product managers, and operations specialists collaborate daily to ship features that directly impact how businesses manage their finances. We believe in giving teams real ownership - from product discovery to deployment - and maintain a remote-first mindset across our Berlin, London, Paris, and Helsinki offices. We optimize for focus and meaningful work over facetime, which is why we've embraced async communication and keep meetings to a minimum. Our engineering culture values pragmatism over perfection: we build modular, API-first solutions that scale because we understand the complex payment landscapes our customers navigate in industries like travel and fleet management. As a licensed EMI issuing Visa cards across 30+ countries, we combine the rigor required for regulated financial services with the agility of a startup, enabling over 4,000 businesses to streamline their payment processes while our team maintains work-life balance and continuous growth.

In 1998, LMI Technologies emerged from a critical realization in the manufacturing world: traditional inspection methods were failing to keep pace with the demands of modern production. As factories increasingly required precision at every step, the founders understood that conventional 2D vision systems and manual inspection couldn't deliver the speed, accuracy, and reliability needed for inline quality control. They saw that 3D smart sensor technology held the answer - sensors capable not just of capturing data, but of processing it intelligently and instantly, transforming how factories could inspect and measure products without slowing down the line. From that founding insight, LMI has grown into the global leader in 3D scanning and inspection, with their flagship Gocator and FocalSpec product lines now trusted by manufacturers worldwide. Their FactorySmart solutions enable 100% quality inspection across industries ranging from automotive and electronics to sawmills and medical devices. The company's journey from a pioneer in laser displacement technology to a comprehensive provider of intelligent 3D vision systems demonstrates their relentless focus on advancing quality and productivity through innovation, helping manufacturers solve their most challenging inspection problems with smart, reliable sensor solutions.

We're a family-founded German software company that started with a very personal problem: our parents, both practicing physicians, couldn't find a suitable Apple-based practice management software. In 2011, we took matters into our own hands and founded zollsoft with a clear mission - to develop intuitive, intelligent solutions that let doctors focus on what really matters: their patients. Today, our flagship product tomedo® has become one of the fastest-growing practice management systems in Germany, trusted by thousands of physicians across the country. Our culture is built on flat hierarchies and genuine collaboration. Team leaders act more as coaches than commanders, giving everyone the space to make decisions and take ownership of their work. We believe innovation requires the courage to venture off the beaten path, and we've created an environment where experimentation is encouraged and mistakes are treated as learning opportunities for the entire team. With over 500 colleagues and growing, we've maintained that startup atmosphere where ideas can flourish and everyone's contribution matters.

Every year, global companies emit billions of tons of CO2 through their complex supply chains, yet most lack the visibility and tools to effectively manage this environmental impact. Carbmee exists to solve this critical challenge. Their Environmental Intelligence System (EIS) transforms how enterprises measure, manage, and reduce carbon emissions across all three scopes of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol - uncovering up to 90% carbon reduction potential in just 21 days. By integrating carbon accounting, product carbon footprints, and supply chain emissions into a single AI-powered platform, Carbmee enables companies like Boeing, Maersk, and ZF to achieve precise Scope 1-3 emissions transparency, streamline supplier collaboration, and drive meaningful decarbonization at scale. Founded in 2021 in Berlin, Carbmee tackles the hardest data problems for the world's largest manufacturers. Their platform leverages millions of transactional data points and advanced AI to turn carbon management from a compliance burden into a strategic business advantage - helping organizations reduce risk, cut costs, and meet evolving regulations like CBAM and CSRD. With offices in Berlin and Munich, and backed by €20M in Series A funding, Carbmee is building the technology infrastructure that makes every emission traceable, auditable, and actionable - empowering businesses to embed environmental intelligence directly into their core operations and procurement decisions.
