About



Our Purpose.

kompreno is an innovative partner for European quality journalism. We help – with AI and language technology – to overcome our language barriers on a continental scale.

The result: inspiration across boundaries for all of us, smartly personalised and always relevant; subscription-based, fair and ad-free.

New audiences and sustainable funding for good journalism, especially where freedom of opinion and pluralism are increasingly under threat.

Our Values.

Truth & Substance.

We want to widen horizons and provide new perspectives. Through a conscious approach to content partnerships, we hold ourselves accountable to highest editorial quality standards. We respect science. Reporting should be fact-based, and opinions well-informed.

Reader-centric & advertising-free.

The pleasure of reading and joy of serendipitous discovery are our guiding principles. Because our offers are advertising-free, we don’t monitor your usage behaviour, except to learn and optimise our own offering. We work hard, every day, to earn and maintain your trust.

Openness & transparency.

We never share your data with third parties. We want to protect private data, and use public data. We want to open new horizons so that new knowledge is created, for a society that’s open, inclusive, diverse and tolerant.

Fairness & independence.

Quality and independence have their price. This is true for the journalists and researchers we work with. It applies to all our clients and stakeholders, to our own team, and to all our business partners.

Diversity & ambiguity.

For every complex problem, there is an answer that is clear, simple – and wrong. We know that even where the facts are clear, we may struggle for their common interpretation. That is why we aren’t afraid of complexity and contradiction. On the contrary: we seek them.
