MAMARX

An industrial engineer by training, Malte Marx has been building digital products for more than twenty-five years. The company he co-founded in 2012, today's mamarx GmbH, grew up in Berlin's startup scene, developing scalable web products for the city's startups in tech-for-equity deals. He helped build web software at scale for one of Germany's largest news publishers, including its youth portal, and advised the publisher along the way. From there he went into the Mittelstand, and he has stayed. He has served as CDO and CTO, including at a B2B distribution company, and he is a shareholder in mid-sized firms himself. He knows these companies from the inside; he understands how they think, decide and do business. As CTO, he has spent years automating nearly every process in the business. First came the quick wins, order and quotation processing among them; then came the method. Process by process, the same patterns kept surfacing: which automation pays off, what carries over, where things get stuck. From these patterns he distilled the SOTA architecture, the map mamarx works with today. And because paper alone proves nothing, he built sota.io, the cloud platform that puts the map into practice, and runs it himself, from build pipeline to production. He does not stop at the blueprint; he builds the house and lives in it. Alongside all of this, he leads mamarx GmbH as sole shareholder and managing director, and as an entrepreneur he gets new ventures off the ground, with AI at the core from day one and with tools from his own workshop. Products move from first prototype to market readiness in weeks, not years. He shares this experience in talks and workshops for executives and investors. His theme is always the same: distinguishing essentials from non-essentials.
