L21s GmbH designs and builds digital platforms for the insurance sector and other regulated industries, combining strategic consulting with software engineering. Founded in 2020 by Jan Schmitz-Hermes and Tobias Larscheid - both with extensive experience from IBM and BCG Platinion - the company operates as a fully-remote team based in Berlin.
The firm's service offering blends consulting and implementation, weighted toward hands-on development: approximately 20% strategic work and 80% coding and realisation. This integration distinguishes L21s from traditional consultancies or pure software vendors. The company works across the entire lifecycle of digital products, from strategy through production, using modern cloud-native technologies including Java, Kotlin, and JavaScript frameworks.
L21s serves established enterprise clients including Signal Iduna, Schufa, Oliver Wyman, and Siemens. The company's focus on regulated industries reflects both founder expertise and market positioning as a technology partner for sectors where compliance and risk management shape product development.
