The imprint confirms DeepL SE, Maarweg 165, Cologne, AG Köln HRB 104617. Retired twin to avoid: DeepL GmbH 391200ZSKGGYICCQGG91 (HRB 64604, RETIRED). An SE has no public shareholder list in the Handelsregister. The investors are VC funds, but we found no primary document showing who holds what. Do not infer control from funding-round press.
