Dec 15, 2025
We are excited to share a special highlight with our community. Our Co-Founder, Jens Kohnen, recently joined one of the leading B2B SaaS podcasts: ARRtist on Air.
In Episode #274, Jens sits down with host Matthias Ernst to discuss the vision behind Hellgate® and why Composable Software is redefining enterprise infrastructure.
Breaking Free from Monolithic Legacy Systems
Many large enterprises are currently trapped in rigid, monolithic payment setups—often referred to as "brownfield" environments. In the podcast, Jens discusses how Hellgate® addresses this specific challenge. He explains our modular architecture approach, which empowers companies to orchestrate complex, international payment processes without falling into vendor lock-in traps.
From Service Provider to SaaS Pioneer
A fascinating part of the conversation covers Hellgate®'s own evolution from a software service provider into a scalable SaaS product company. Jens shares valuable "hard learnings" from navigating enterprise sales and explains why a Composable Payment Architecture is the critical foundation needed to unlock future innovations like In-Car-Payment or Agentic Commerce.
