A brief timeline...

Kapow Technologies A/S was founded in 1998 by CEO Stefan Andreasen and Ebbe Groes (now CEO of spin-off BetBrain Ltd, London). The initial idea was to create the largest marketplace for cars, boats and real estate in Europe, by collecting items for sale, from the websites of all online car dealers, boat dealers and real estate agents.

To do this Kapow Technologies had to develop a new cutting-edge technology that could automate the collection process from several thousand web sites, and at the same time ensure that all collected data was correct, i.e. car make, year, price, etc. In 1999 the largest marketplace in Denmark was launched and in 2000 and 2001 the largest marketplace in Europe was launched on www.kapow.net, the Danish marketplace alone consisting of more than 30,000 houses and apartments.

In 2001, a decision was made to refocus the company on the software that had been developed for the marketplace. Kapow Technologies spent the next two years acquiring Global 2000 customers, and in 2003, signed a worldwide OEM deal with BEA Systems - a solution that integrates Kapow RoboSuite with BEA WebLogic Portal™.

In 2004, Kapow Technologies opened new offices in the U.S, Germany, The Netherlands and France, and made new partnerships and OEM deals with APR Smartlogik, Avinci, Inxight, and Valtech among others.

October 2004 Kapow Technologies launched RoboSuite version 5.5, this new version dramatically cuts the time-to-market for implementing Enterprise Portals, CMS and SOA projects.

By 2006, Kapow Technologies acquired its 200th enterprise customer, and the Kapow Mashup Server had become the defacto standard for collecting, connecting and mashing up anything browsable on the Web.  And through Kapow’s patented visual scripting design scheme, Global 2000 companies and Web 2.0 startups are able to complete integration projects that were never before possible and at a fraction of the time and cost when compared to traditional integration methods.
