The idea
First user interviews and concept work: the idea for cdot is born. With our admission to the aws First Incubator program, we start building the prototype.
United by a shared goal
Connecting the dots between regulation, processes and people.
At our core, we believe that a company's most valuable resource is its collective operational knowledge. Yet this critical know-how and process knowledge is often locked away in static documents or in the heads of individual team members, or not anchored in the organization at all. It stays inaccessible instead of driving growth.
Our mission is to enable organizations to build a living, AI-ready knowledge foundation by turning static policies and documentation into a dynamic, learning ecosystem. We go beyond simple documentation and create a living platform for seamless collaboration between people and AI.
The team behind the idea
About us
We are a small, close-knit team with flat hierarchies and experience in IT consulting, agile project management, AI research and business development. cdot was founded by Malte Scheuvens (strategy and technology) and Lisa Katzenschlager (product and operations). We build with passion in the heart of Vienna.
We love what we do and take our work seriously. In an environment where precision matters, we strive for excellence and don't settle for "good enough". Innovation, inspiration and responsibility are at the core of how we work together. With cdot, we want to build impactful technology and help shape where Europe's technology landscape goes in the long run.
