Entrepreneur in Residence

Vicoland gives the professional services market a new dimension: Virtual Companies – “Vicos”. We invented Vicos as a new type of supplier, more efficient than traditional professional services firms (consultancies, system integrators, agencies etc.). On our AI-driven SaaS platform, freelance experts team up to act like real companies, competing successfully for large enterprise projects.

Already, 100+ Vicos with thousands of freelancers work on projects for enterprise clients like Mercedes-Benz, Netflix and the German Federal Government. Forbes and Forrester mention Vicoland as a leading force transforming the market.

Our platform provides the full digital infrastructure: marketing, finance, legal, organization – plus a deal pipeline with >70 enterprise clients. And it integrates seamlessly with SAP’s procurement ecosystem.

A key focus of our growth lies in SAP services. Many of our Vicos focus on areas ranging from SAP S/4HANA transformation, to highly specific SAP application modules. We are therefore looking for ambitious SAP professionals who already lead integration projects in consulting firms or system integrators and want to take the next entrepreneurial step.
