<span>Berlin's Langdock Moves Parent From US to Germany, Cites Cloud Act Risk From EU Customers</span>

Summary

Enterprise AI platform Langdock is winding down its US holding company and moving the parent to Germany to satisfy customer legal teams worried about US Cloud Act exposure, co-CEOs Lennard Schmidt and Judith Dada told Euronews. The Berlin-founded 2023 startup, now at $50M ARR across ~13,000 organizations (up from $1M ARR in October 2024), will pay several million euros in restructuring costs and plans its own German data center for open-source models. Founders and employees hold roughly 80% of the EU-domiciled entity.
