“ALL IN ONE – Scalable Global Solutions has raised over €1.4M for our DaaS (Department as a Solution). As an alternative to outsourcing, our DaaS solution enables SMEs to easily employ, manage, and pay an in-house team based in Croatia. Clients no longer have to worry about losing control, as DaaS presents the Future of Employment.”
Markus Borlinghaus, Founder & CEO
Scalable Global Solutions
Executive Summary
Scalable Global Solutions (SGS) is Europe’s first tech-enabled company combining business process optimisation (BPO), human resource services, and software solutions. It enables SMEs to establish in-house remote departments in Croatia.
SMEs face numerous obstacles in outsourcing, including finding and retaining quality talent, as well as managing a remote team. SGS recruits and employs talent, and handles the payroll and compliance. The client onboards their new team and has 100% control over the following:
- Who they hire
- The remote team’s day-to-day operations
DaaS assists clients in optimising and managing their departments, and they are supported by SGS ONE, an alternative Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution. SGS opens up access to a multi-billion dollar market and workforce which can be integrated into in-house teams.

Industrial AI does not fail on models. It fails on context.
Operational Intelligence connects fragmented operational data and systems across an industrial facility, including control systems, historians and equipment data, to give operators and AI tools a connected view of what a plant is actually doing. It sits within the broader industrial software and Asset Performance Management market, where predictive maintenance is one application among several, and can be deployed on premises, at the edge or in airgapped environments where operational data cannot leave the site.
It looks like a fund with no thesis. It is not really a fund.
An umbrella fund structure holds multiple single-purpose sub-funds, each with its own unit class and segregated assets held in the trustee’s name. Investors select an individual project rather than acquiring exposure to the whole portfolio, which means they carry concentrated exposure to that project and do not obtain diversification across the fund’s other investments.
