Our Story

In 2021, Andreas Müller, founder and main shareholder of S.D.L. Süddeutsche Leasing AG (SDL AG), and Philipp Lenz, current CEO of the young fintech company, made the ambitious decision to develop the asset financing solution of the future with cap-on. Within a very short time, the founding team was strengthened with Fabian Lenz, in the legal department, and Theo Schütz, the CTO responsible for technology and product development.

The interdisciplinary cap-on team thus combines innovative and unconventional founding spirit with decades of experience in the credit and leasing business, supported by SDL AG's renowned partner and customer network.

While technology development is driven forward in the rapidly growing Berlin IT hub, the headquarters in tranquil Ulm-Elchingen serves as a familiar yet productive retreat.
