We are not an AI startup that invented Brand Intelligence in a slide deck. We have lived it for 30 years. With real companies, real challenges, and real decisions.
Most AI platforms come from the lab. livestep comes from real-world practice. Since 1996 we have worked with mid-sized companies to strengthen their market position through digital strategy, communication, and analytics.
At one point, a pattern became obvious: the real problem was rarely a missing tool. It was missing knowledge. About the market. About customers. About what is actually happening beyond dashboards and gut feel.
livestep is the answer to that. Built by people who have seen this challenge up close for three decades.
Where we come from. Where we are going.
Two statements that explain what we do today—and what we want to achieve by 2027.
Mission
Give companies the knowledge that makes real market decisions possible.
No guesswork, no flying blind. We make visible what customers really think, what competitors really do—and what follows from that in practice. For everyone on the team, not just data specialists.
Vision
The first port of call for market-based decisions in the German mid-market.
Large enterprises have research departments and seven-figure market intelligence budgets. Mid-sized companies deserve the same foundation—without the same overhead. That is what we are building with livestep.

Built on what we truly know.
The platform did not emerge in a vacuum. It is the result of years of practice with companies from industry, the mid-market, and B2B—their questions, missteps, and needs are what made livestep possible in the first place.
We know the market because we have worked in it.
No investor story, no pivot out of thin air. livestep is the logical consequence of 25 years of questions our customers could not answer—and neither could we, because the right tools were missing.
