Rulemapping Group provides an AI-driven platform automating complex decisions via its proprietary Rulemapping methodology. It converts intricate legal and administrative regulations into structured, executable code. This streamlines bureaucratic processes, enhances operational efficiency, and ensures consistent rule application for transparent compliance.
Founded in 2024 by Till Behnke and Professor Dr. Stephan Breidenbach, Rulemapping Group stemmed from identifying administrative inefficiencies. Digital entrepreneur Behnke partnered with legal expert Breidenbach, developer of the Rulemapping method. Their vision: apply structured digital logic to overcome systemic administrative complexities.
Rulemapping Group serves organizations with regulatory burdens. Its platform assists them in navigating legal frameworks and achieving streamlined compliance. The company envisions transparent, efficient, accessible bureaucratic systems, fostering equitable, effective administration through automation.

Rulemapping Group is a Berlin-based technology company developing AI-supported solutions for modeling and automating complex regulatory rules, transforming natural language laws into machine-readable formats for decision automation.[1][2][3] It serves governments, businesses, courts, and legal systems by solving the problem of inefficient bureaucracy—costing Germany €146 billion annually—through tools like the Rulemap Builder, which enables "Law as Code" for transparent, traceable processes without programming.[1][3][5] The company raised €12 million in April 2025 from SPRIND, Hidden Peak Capital, and angels like Christian Vollmann, fueling team growth in AI, legal engineering, and business development; with 20 employees, it shows strong momentum in GovTech amid rising administrative demands.[1][2][4]
Rulemapping Group evolved from the "Rulemapping method," pioneered by Prof. Dr. Stephan Breidenbach, who combined academic research with practical applications like mass proceedings in Toll Collect and the diesel scandal, processing hundreds of thousands of lawsuits rapidly.[4] Early involvement came from Tilo Wend as managing director for tech development.[4] The current team formed when Till Behnke (CEO, ex-Rugby national player), Ina Remmers, and Matthes Scheinhardt—founders of neighborhood platform nebenan.de (exited 2023)—joined forces with co-founder Dirk Woywod, bringing operational, tech, and legal expertise.[1][4][7] This diverse group shifted focus to scaling AI-driven rule automation, securing SPRIND support for two years before the €12M round in April 2025, marking a pivot from niche tools to enterprise-grade bureaucracy transformation.[2][4]
Rulemapping rides the AI for governance trend, addressing analog legal texts that block digitization amid 230,000 retiring German admins by 2030 and exploding regulations.[1][2] Timing aligns with EU pushes for digital public services and "Law as Code" initiatives, where market forces like bureaucratic overload (€146B/year loss) and AI accountability demands favor transparent tools over opaque LLMs.[1][3] It influences the ecosystem by providing reasoning infrastructure—termed a potential "new SAP" for legislation and implementation—empowering governments to test laws pre-enactment and businesses to ensure compliance, while subsididiary Rulemapping Solutions scales delivery.[4][5][6]
Rulemapping Group is positioned to lead regulatory AI, expanding AI capabilities and team post-€12M to target mass processes in public/private sectors globally.[2][4] Trends like AI regulation (e.g., EU AI Act) and workforce shortages will amplify demand for its traceable automation, potentially evolving it into a standard for "trustworthy bureaucracy." As Behnke notes, rule-based AI accelerates without risks, tying back to its core: turning democratic backbone into efficient, human-centered systems.[1][3]
