Capacities GmbH, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Berlin, Germany, is a fully remote software startup specializing in personal knowledge management and note-taking solutions. Established by co-founders Steffen Bleher and Michael von Hohnhorst, the company focuses on developing a modern and intuitive platform designed to help users organize, connect, and retrieve ideas efficiently.
