findIQ Expands Internationally as Demand Grows for Its AI-Powered Industrial Knowledge Platform

findIQ, the German software developer founded in 2022, is accelerating its international growth following a $4 million Seed funding round in 2024. The company, based in Ostwestfalen-Lippe, has developed an AI-powered SaaS platform that captures and manages expert knowledge in industrial machinery service, addressing the urgent issue of knowledge loss in manufacturing and maintenance industries.

Led by CEO and Co-Founder Sina Volkmann, findIQ reported record performance this year, matching its entire 2024 customer acquisition in just one quarter and increasing revenue from existing clients by 50%. Its technology combines knowledge management with proprietary AI models that deliver accurate maintenance guidance in over 90% of cases, cutting error diagnostics time by up to 70%.

Backed by investors including Senovo, Plug and Play, High-Tech Gründerfonds, Auxxo Female Catalyst Fund, and Notion Capital, findIQ is expanding from the DACH region to the U.S., supporting industrial leaders such as Siemens, Phoenix Contact, and Elopak. The company’s U.S. launch includes a dedicated local team and partnerships with major enterprises, positioning findIQ as a global leader in AI-driven industrial knowledge transfer.
