Zeropost
In Germany, your life still arrives on paper, at one address, while you're somewhere else. Contracts, tax letters, and Behörden mail chain people and small businesses to a physical mailbox they might visit once a month.

German-hosted
The mailbox is the last piece of German life that never went digital. Everything else moved to your phone. The letter that decides your tax year is still waiting in a metal box in another city.
A registered postal operator, built like a software product. Physical post arrives at Zeropost, staff scan it straight into an encrypted inbox, and customers read, search, and act on it from anywhere.

The moat is regulatory, the speed is engineering
- ·Registered postal provider with the Bundesnetzagentur, the paperwork most startups discover after building
- ·Public launch is gated on the regulatory side, so the product runs in early access while clearance lands
- ·DSGVO posture from day one: German hosting, encrypted storage, data minimization
Scan intake that never touches the app server
- ·Staff scanning flow uploads directly to encrypted object storage, the app brokers credentials but never proxies the bytes
- ·Intake queue built for batch work: scan, assign, release to the customer inbox
- ·Every document lands searchable: read it, file it, act on it from any device
One codebase, two audiences
- ·Staff intake and customer inbox live in one app, separated by roles, not by duplicated codebases
- ·Membership tiers ride on the same identity, sign-in via elvix, sign-in equals sign-up
- ·One flat price per audience, individuals and businesses, zero per-letter surcharges
Built on the shared platform stack
- ·Hexagonal service structure shared with the rest of the product family, the same discipline in every repo
- ·PostgreSQL on managed infrastructure, tests against real databases with Testcontainers
- ·35 routes covering marketing, onboarding, inbox, console, and legal surfaces in one Next.js app
