About
Not more data. More sight.
We believe opportunities slip by in the mid-market every day, not for lack of data, but for lack of sight. The tender is on the portal, the insolvency is in the gazette, the prospect was on your website. Everything is public. But nobody has time to watch five places at once. That is why we are building Cernavio.
From the founder
Why we are building Cernavio
For years I watched capable mid-market firms do excellent work and still miss contracts, simply because they heard about them too late or not at all. The opportunity was there, publicly visible, yet invisible in the noise of portals, registries and gazettes.
At the same time dozens of tools sell company lists as if the bottleneck in sales were a shortage of addresses. It is not. The bottleneck is the right moment: the signal that someone has a need right now that you can meet.
Cernavio fuses five signal worlds into a single, prioritized feed and justifies every opportunity with its source. Not another inbox to sift through each morning, but a clear view of what matters. When you write to us, the team building the platform answers.

Signal fusion
A single signal is a data point. A tender without context, a registry change without meaning. Only when signals from different worlds converge does a sales opportunity emerge: the municipality approves a renovation budget, three weeks later the tender appears, and the technical director visited your website yesterday.
That is signal fusion: Cernavio reads five signal worlds in parallel, matches every signal against your niche profile and fuses the hits into one prioritized feed. Every card carries its source, a match score and a reason why you are seeing it. Precision over completeness: eight relevant opportunities per morning beat eight hundred raw records.
Five worlds, one feed

A brand of CITO GmbH, Hamburg
Cernavio is a brand of CITO GmbH, Hamburg.
CITO GmbH is a Hamburg-based venture studio: we build focused software products for markets where the mid-market has been underserved, from compliance to robotics to opportunity intelligence.

Cernavio is developed in Hamburg and hosted in Europe. No offshore data broker, no anonymous portal: when you write to us, the team building the platform answers.
What we hold ourselves to
Precision over completeness. A feed that shows everything shows nothing. We curate strictly and justify every hit instead of dumping piles of data.
Sources on every statement. Every card in the feed carries its source: TED, registry, official gazette. What we cannot substantiate, we do not claim.
GDPR by design. We process public company data, hosted in Europe, with privacy as an architecture decision, not a footnote.
Made in Hamburg. Built in the Hamburg venture studio of CITO GmbH, close to the mid-market we build for.
