Overview
BoWatt builds AI software for the technical sales and engineering teams of manufacturers, who must check long customer requirement documents before quoting for machines and production lines. Its customers are mainly machine builders and automation suppliers serving packaging, food, pharmaceutical, automotive and other industries. Teams import specifications from PDF, Word, PowerPoint or Excel files, and the software translates them, routes each requirement to the right department and flags likely deviations based on earlier projects. Companies buy access to the platform and use it to share deviation lists and supplier responses with customers and suppliers. BoWatt was founded in 2023 and is based in Munich.

What believers are saying
- Revenue preceded venture money: BoWatt bootstrapped to over 500,000 euros in annual recurring revenue before its first funding round.

- Customers report measurable savings: BoWatt's March 2026 case study says BBS Automation saves over 200,000 euros annually.
What critics are saying
