Our take
Founded in 2012, LeanIX is an enterprise architecture software company considered the ‘Google Maps for IT architects’. Its Continuous Transformation Platform offers SaaS solutions to provide IT architects and asset managers, business leaders, and DevOps teams with transparency and control over their enterprise architecture and microservices.
The company is trusted by a long list of international customers - it secured its 1000th customer in early 2023 - with notable clients including Volkswagen, Adidas and Vodafone. It has also accrued dozens of partners, including big names Deloitte and PwC.
As LeanIX continues to rapidly make new partnerships, such as with Cleanshelf and SAP (who acquired LeanIX in 2023 for $1.2 billion), its platform is becoming increasingly able to service all IT areas. Funds raised by the company have enabled it to further develop its complementary solutions for cloud governance, as well as continue international growth by adding to its offices in India, Germany, and the Netherlands.
