endoo GmbH is a German IT and communications company specializing in digital infrastructure for the education sector. Founded in 2014 by Christian Hanster and Maximilian Ammenwerth, the company originated from a school project the two developed as students. The initial idea, conceived between 2010 and 2014, was to create a WLAN system with an integrated storage platform for their high school. This project laid the groundwork for what would become endoo and its core product, endooSpot.
The company's business model is Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), primarily targeting the B2G (Business-to-Government) market by serving schools and school authorities. endoo provides comprehensive support for educational institutions undertaking digital transitions, offering services that span from initial planning to final implementation of IT infrastructure. Its main products, endooSpot and endooOrganize, deliver specialized WLAN technology and IT inventory management software designed for the specific needs of a school environment. The platform enables easy integration with existing school software, allowing for the creation of a reliable and intuitively managed network.
Headquartered in Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia, endoo has steadily grown since its inception. After its founding and a successful pilot phase in 2015, the company made its first major appearance at the Didacta education trade fair in 2016. By 2017, endoo had hired its first employees and moved into the DigitalHub Münsterland. A seed funding round was successfully completed in late 2020, backed by a group of business angels, including members from the management of Flaschenpost, which helped the company expand its operations. The company has also formed strategic partnerships, such as one with IServ in 2020, to enhance its service offerings and streamline WLAN integration for schools using IServ's digital platform.
