Our partners

A short list, on purpose.

Germany has a partner for everything. We work with a few, carefully assessed on expertise, reputation, experience with internationals and service quality. We explain and introduce; the partner advises and delivers, and we stay reachable in English while you work with them.

Who is on the list today

Five partners, each for one need.

tecis for finance, Athaus.ai for housing, Estrach & Jung Consulting for company financing and funding, Pontaro for business development and Founders Night for community. Each partner works under its own name and on its own terms. We would rather add slowly than add wrong.

01tecis Finanzdienstleistungen AG

Finance partner

tecis Finanzdienstleistungen AG

Insurance, investments and pensions: advice and setup through tecis

Insurance, investments and pensions run through tecis Finanzdienstleistungen AG, a Swiss Life company advising across Germany since 1986. Its advisors compare around 250 insurers, banks and fund providers for every recommendation, and the reasoning goes in writing. We arrange the first call; an English-speaking advisor from the partner takes it from there.

How we get paid What tecis sorts with you
  • Partner since 2026
  • Advising since 1986
  • Part of the Swiss Life group
  • ~250 vetted product partners
02Athaus.ai

Housing partner

Athaus.ai

Housing: search, apply, buy or rent

Athaus is a German real-estate marketplace with an AI brokerage behind it. One search covers the whole German market instead of five portals, and when you find a place, Athaus applies on your behalf. Buyers pay nothing; sellers pay a commission only on a completed sale. Athaus is run by Andrual Technologies UG under its own broker licence. We chose it because the newcomer disadvantage in a flat search is mostly speed and paperwork, and that is exactly what it removes.

Why book through Unlock Germany

A partner is a door. We stay in the room.

Going to a partner through us costs you nothing extra. We explain the system in plain words, introduce you to the partner who advises and delivers, and stay reachable in English while you work with them.

One place to start

Housing, financing, insurance and funding affect each other. We explain how they connect and introduce you to the partner for each.

Someone to tell

If something stalls with a partner, you tell us, and we follow it up with them.

Partner perks, when they exist

Where a partner offers Unlock Germany members better terms, you get them by coming through us. We announce them on the community page as they land.
