simpleTechs GmbH · Berlin · since 2012

Complexity in.
Simple out.

For thirteen years we have built the systems other companies run on. Streaming for millions of households. Trading in real gold. Accounting for publishers. Today AI is part of the work, held to the same standard. And the products that came out of it have a house of their own.

The structure

One house. Everything in it built here.

simpleTechs is the parent company. What proves itself in real client work becomes a product. What becomes a product moves into smpl Services. None of it is a side project.

2012 · Berlin · the parent

simpleTechs GmbH

The engine room. Client platforms, backends, apps and AI systems. This is where things get built, where the standard is set, and where the people sit who have been running the same systems for thirteen years.

2023 · Berlin · the products

smpl Services GmbH

The product house. Founded in 2023 to carry proven software into the world and keep the mothership out of harm's way. Its own company, its own books, the same team.

What we build

Four things. All of them in production.

We do not hand over concepts. We build systems, we run them, and we stay reachable when something jams at three in the morning.

Foundation

Backends and platforms

Content, users, payments, delivery. One engine carrying millions of users for years without anyone talking about it. That is exactly what a backend should be.

Moving pictures

Streaming and VOD

Entire film catalogues delivered every day, to TVs, phones and the web. Public broadcasting, ad funded, subscription. We have built every variant of it.

Web, phone, TV, car

Wherever it runs

We started on the web. Then came iOS and Android. Then the smart TVs. Most recently we moved into the car. Every time a new screen turned up we learned it and shipped on it. And the list is not finished.

Without AI, hybrid, all in

As much AI as it needs

All three have their place, and none of them was ever the answer to everything. Where AI genuinely does the work we build agents that finish a task, wired into systems that already carry real load. Where a database query is enough, it stays a database query. For every case we look for the healthy way that works.

And where a company already runs on Salesforce, we make it fit the rest.

Track record

Not case studies. Systems that run.

We started in 2012 with five hundred euros each. This is what came of it.

  • Netzkino: from idea to a multi-million exit

    We were there from the first idea and built the platform that made Netzkino big. Sold for millions.

  • Gold: an expansion idea became a multi-million investment

    With SOLIT AG we moved precious metal trading off paper and onto a platform. A suggestion to think it bigger turned into a multi-million investment and flexgold.

  • Streaming in the public interest

    ARD Plus runs on our platform. The ARD's subscription streaming service, on TVs, phones and the web, for millions of households.

  • Accounting for publishers

    Our systems handle e-book royalty accounting for Bookwire. Invisible work that entire publishing houses depend on.

  • 2012 Founded in Berlin
  • 13+ Years, the same team
  • Millions Of viewers on platforms we run
  • 500 € Starting capital per founder, 2012
The two

We studied together. Lived together. Then we built this.

Magdeburg, one flat, two degrees: Fabian came from computer science, Daniel from business informatics. They lived together long before they founded anything. What they share: they pull things apart to understand them, then put them back together better.

Fabian Off

He wants to know how something does what it does, so he takes it apart. Sometimes it even goes back together. A broken iPod Classic back then, a Tesla he has root access to today, and right now an old scanning electron microscope he is coaxing back to life. He builds so technology behaves the way he wants it to, not the way somebody else intended. What he did before simpleTechs, in his own words: get a proper night of sleep.

Managing director · co-founder

Daniel Nylund

At ten he sold laser pointers in the schoolyard and bought his first computer with the proceeds. Salesman and tech head, both from the start. Later he ran Netzkino, when streaming still needed explaining. Where Fabian takes machines apart, he senses what is ready to get better. In systems, in products, and in the people who work with them. Thirteen years of simpleTechs taught him more than any book, and that is exactly what he spends it on.

On film

Rather see it once.

Two films, both made in house, both served from here.
No YouTube, no tracker.

The streaming platform

What our VOD platform does and who already runs on it. 48 seconds.

A team. One mission.

Who works here and what it feels like. 27 seconds.

Our promise

We deliver holistic, scalable end-to-end solutions for your digital transformation journey.

We make complex things simple.

That was the name in 2012 and it is still the job. Technologies change and we change with them. What does not change: we build it, we run it, and we stay reachable.
