awork GmbH is a privately held software company headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. The company develops awork, a cloud-based project-management platform used by agencies and project-based teams.[3]

History

awork GmbH was founded in 2021 by Tobias Hagenau, Lucas Bauche, and Nils Czernig. The three founders began developing awork in 2019 while working at HQLabs, an ERP software company they had also co-founded.[4] After HQLabs was acquired by BID Equity, the founders established awork GmbH as an independent company in 2021.[5]

In January 2023, awork GmbH closed a €5 million Series A round led by Hi Inov-Dentressangle and Swiss Post Ventures.[6] At that time, the platform had approximately 17,000 users and 2,200 corporate customers.[7]

By 2025, the platform had grown to over 60,000 users and more than 10,000 teams.[8]

The company also expanded into the United Kingdom.[9] In 2025, CEO Tobias Hagenau noted differences between German and British employees’ attitudes toward motivation, describing it as more duty-driven in Germany and more positively framed in the United Kingdom.[10]

As of 2025, awork GmbH employs 53 people, and its annual revenue is estimated at around US$ 7.6 million.[11]

The company supports flexible work models, including flexible working hours and the option to work temporarily from other countries (“workations”).[12][13]

Software

The company’s primary product, awork, is a cloud-based project management platform that provides tools for project planning, resource management, time tracking, and supports collaboration with external stakeholders.[14] It also integrates with third-party business tools through an open API and has an AI feature to help create projects and tasks.[8][15]

The awork platform is developed in Hamburg and hosted on ISO 27001-certified Microsoft servers located in Germany.[16]

The platform provides capacity planning and workload-visualisation tools intended to help teams allocate resources and plan deliveries across multiple projects in real time.[8] It supports integrations with common business applications, including HR and calendar systems, enabling synchronisation of employee availability and time-off data with the planning view.

Partnerships and integrations

awork GmbH is registered at the Hamburg commercial register (Amtsgericht Hamburg, HRB 172488).[17]

The company develops and operates the awork platform, which is listed on the n8n automation platform and can be connected with external applications and data sources.[18]

An integration with Lexware Office supports data exchange with accounting and business management software.[19]

Zapier provides documented connectors for awork, including connections with third-party services such as MOCO and Google Sheets.[20]

The platform is available on the Google Workspace Marketplace,[21] Microsoft Teams marketplace,[22] and Slack Marketplace.[23]

Integration with Personio enables data synchronisation for human resources management.[24]

Pabbly Connect includes awork in its automation platform, supporting workflow integrations with over 1,500 applications.[25]

Make (formerly Integromat) offers awork modules for workflow automation and integration with over 2,000 applications.[26]

Integrately provides one-click automation templates for awork integrations with over 1,200 applications.[27]

Media coverage

awork GmbH was referenced by Business Punk and DataCenter Insider in articles based on data from the OMR Reviews platform, which analysed commonly used business, marketing and productivity software in the DACH region and published comparative industry overviews.[28][29]

The company was also mentioned by Deutsche Startups in a report discussing widely used marketing and business software tools in the German-speaking market.[30]
