About Us

Boardwise was founded in 2019 within Axel Springer with the mission to digitize and simplify boardroom operations.

Our enterprise-grade solution is trusted by major organisations – including more than 30 % of DAX-listed companies, such as E.ON, BAYER, VW Financial Services, and ProSiebenSat.1.

At Boardwise, we’re not just building software – we’re redefining how high-level decisions are made in modern organisations. As a remote-first company with an international team, we offer real ownership, fast learning curves, and the opportunity to make an impact in a meaningful space.
