Renewable energy and real estate project developer with venture investment arm
Saxovent develops utility-scale solar and wind parks across Europe while managing a venture capital investment practice—a dual model requiring both project engineering discipline and financial control. The stack reveals a finance-first operational posture (Prophix for planning, Excel-heavy workflows, Personio for HR), with active adoption of Prophix reporting indicating tightened internal controls. Engineering hiring (19 roles) significantly outpaces sales (4), reflecting the capital-intensity of project development over business development.
Saxovent is a Berlin-based developer and operator of renewable energy projects (solar parks, wind farms) and real estate, founded in 1997. The company also functions as a venture capital investor in clean-energy and sustainability-focused businesses. Operations span multiple European markets, with a track record of deploying projects that offset approximately 625,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. The firm is structured as a public company with 51–200 employees, predominantly based in Germany.
Core tools: QGIS (geospatial), PVsyst (solar modeling), AutoCAD (design), Prophix (financial planning), Microsoft 365 (productivity), SharePoint (collaboration), Personio (HR management). Currently adopting Prophix for enhanced reporting and control.
Active projects include developing solar and wind parks, integrating battery storage, scaling a pan-European sales system, building internal reporting and controlling infrastructure (via Prophix), and creating dashboards for project performance monitoring.
