It’s exit time again in the German startup scene: In recent weeks, the exit of the Berlin-based Sanity Group (sold to Organigram), the takeover of Gini by Banyan Software and the exit of ESG-X to Dcycle have made headlines.
Exits worth millions and majority investments are part of the background noise of the startup scene. There have already been some interesting exits in the young year of 2026. In the fast-moving start-up scene, many exits and takeovers are immediately forgotten.
