The Company

alphaX Digital Services GmbH in Munich has developed into a consulting company with holistic aspirations. Their service catalog ranges from analysis, consulting, implementation and customer-specific digitalization to the aftercare of their projects.Founded by Frank Hartmann, the company’s chief executive officer (CEO) and chairman of the holding company ACP, the company has developed into a significant team player in the IT landscape in 15 years. While in the beginning there were small orders from friends and acquaintances, larger and larger orders from industrial, trade and companies were added. Today, alphaX counts many medium-sized companies and corporations from many industries among its customers.

But how did it come about in the first place?

Frank Hartmann has always been an extremely talented programmer. At the tender age of 13, he was already selling software online that he had programmed himself – and the anonymity of the Internet at the time made up for the fact that he was not yet ready for business. The school career was followed through and stringently refined by a study of computer science at the University of Darmstadt. His studies in Computer Science focused on Distributed Software Systems and Cryptography. It wasn’t until he started working for a software company in Silicon Valley, USA, that Frank Hartmann discovered that what he had learned theoretically in his studies could now be applied in the real world. The whole thing was called “Bitcoin.” More on that later.

Sent back to Germany, he set about establishing another location for the U.S. company in Munich. During his time in Munich, he met his wife, who is from Ukraine. On several visits to her home country, Frank got to know her fellow students, all of whom were also IT specialists. The idea of founding a company in the field of nearshoring was obvious and was realized. The first customer projects were won quickly. For many years alphaX has been working decentralized with our partners in different nearshore countries and could gain a lot of experience in this area. Read more in our report about nearshoring.

Fascinated by new IT business models and still by the ever-growing blockchain technology and the manifold and promising opportunities it offers, several companies came into existence through Frank Hartmann’s involvement. These include Blockchain Applications AG, based in Zug, Switzerland, Connact GmbH, Greenkeeper GmbH, Scalisto GmbH, Dicevisuals GmbH and several more, which, like alphaX Digital Services GmbH, are grouped under the holding company Angel Capital Partners GmbH. This holding is constantly being expanded by its two shareholders Frank Hartmann and Andreas Brenauer. The main focus here is clearly on alphaX, which in a way constitutes the technological heart of the group. Frank Hartmann and Andreas Brenauer are both passionate entrepreneurs who are supported by a fabulous team, which is made up of people from the most diverse areas. While IT provides the majority of the staff, others complement and complete the company with their expertise from management consulting, M&A, education, automotive, mechanical engineering and other industries, with their areas of operations, supply chain, controlling, banking, sales/marketing, etc. and design, thus rounding out the competencies of alphaX.

Attitude and performance play an overriding role at alphaX, in tune of course with our set of values, which includes the goals for sustainability (environmental, economic and social) as well as our responsibility for our planet. Applicants who share these attitudes, morals and behaviors are welcome to join our team.
