Headquartered in Paderborn, Germany, Raynet enables large enterprises to discover, manage, and protect complex IT environments. Its AI-enabled platform, Raynet One, combines discovery capabilities with a proprietary Technology Catalog to transform fragmented technology data into a centralized and trusted source of truth for IT management and cybersecurity. With approximately 170 professionals, Raynet has a strong position in DACH, a presence across Europe, and growing operations in North America. The company serves customers across multiple industries through direct sales and partners.

The growing importance of high-quality data for AI applications further reinforces this need. Raynet’s combination of IT visibility, asset management and security capabilities positions the company to address these evolving requirements.
Together with Main, Raynet intends to accelerate its international expansion, strengthen strategic partnerships, and further develop its product offering across adjacent data management and security functionalities.
