Schlafender Hase Enters Next Growth Phase with Strategic Investment from Maguar Capital
Partnership accelerates investment in TVT while preserving the company’s mission, culture, and long-term commitment to customers
Frankfurt, Germany, 12 August 2026 — Schlafender Hase, today announced a new partnership with Maguar Capital (“Maguar”), the German technology investor specializing in small and mid-sized B2B software companies. Maguar has acquired a majority stake in the Company from its existing shareholders. As part of the transaction, Wieland Capital and one of Schlafender Hase’s co-founders will significantly reinvest, continuing to support Schlafender Hase alongside Maguar through its next phase of growth.
“We are proud of what Schlafender Hase has achieved over the past years and are very pleased to remain significantly invested in the Company. With Maguar, we have found a partner who shares our partnership-oriented philosophy and long-term perspective for the Company and brings deep software expertise that will be instrumental in enabling the Company’s continued growth and international expansion.” shared Franck Godet, Partner at Wieland Capital
Founded in 2001, Schlafender Hase has spent the last 25 years refining its main product TVT – a content verification platform trusted by all of top 20 pharmaceutical companies, five global health authorities and 440+ companies across regulated industries to catch errors before they reach print or market. This deterministic software compares every element of packaging, artwork and labeling against source content, layout and language to flag discrepancies a manual review can miss.
A new chapter, built on continuity
For Schlafender Hase, this partnership is about continuity as much as growth. The company’s mission, culture and relationships with customers built over 25 years won’t change — what changes is the resources behind them. Maguar was drawn to Schlafender Hase precisely because of those long-standing customer relationships and the trust the company has earned, at a moment when regulatory requirements are growing more complex and content workflows continue to digitalize.
André Cerbe, Managing Director of Schlafender Hase, said: “We are excited to partner with Maguar as we enter the next phase of Schlafender Hase’s journey. Together, we will continue to invest in our technology, support our customers with best-in-class verification solutions, and build on the strong foundation established over the past two decades.” Constantin Dony, Managing Director of Schlafender Hase, added: “This partnership allows us to accelerate our roadmap and expand our reach, all while staying true to what has made Schlafender Hase the trusted choice for our customers for 25 years.”
Continued investment in product innovation
Together with Maguar, Schlafender Hase will accelerate development of TVT, both the on-premise and web versions, and continue exploring AI-driven features to help customers manage increasingly complex regulatory content and workflows. Investment will extend beyond Pharma to markets facing similar content-accuracy stakes.
Johannes Losbichler, Partner at Maguar Capital, said: “Schlafender Hase has built an outstanding market position over more than two decades in a technologically demanding and highly regulated environment. We were particularly impressed by the Company’s exceptional technology, deep domain expertise and long-standing customer relationships — a strong foundation for future growth.”
Markus Schunk, Partner at Maguar Capital, added: “We look forward to working with the management team around André Cerbe and Constantin Dony, as well as the former shareholders, to shape the Company’s next phase of growth. We see significant potential to further strengthen its leading market position.”
