About Kapejko Studios
Kapejko Studios is a Hamburg-based service company that connects two worlds: personal workplace & integration support and practical IT competence.
Many people in Germany — with migration history, refugees, older job seekers, people with disabilities or career changers — do not just need information. They need someone who really walks with them: to the Jobcenter, through the application, into the new job. At the same time, small companies need staff, do not know all funding possibilities, and rarely have resources for multilingual onboarding or their own IT department.
That is exactly where we work. We speak Polski, Deutsch and English, we keep prices transparent, and we say honestly what we can do — and where a lawyer, certified translator or official counseling center is the better address. The first appointment is free.
Refurbished works. That’s the whole point.
The founder spent three years fixing laptops — and trying to make the world a little better while doing it. He does not stand for selling new things made from non-renewable resources. He would much rather take what is already broken and fix it, so that no more resources are wasted than necessary.
This website exists to spread exactly that word: you can work perfectly with refurbished devices. Thousands of repaired laptops later, that is not an opinion — it is experience. Our motto: Technology — new and refurbished — doesn’t have to be expensive.
Founder’s achievements and already done jobs
Laptops prepared, repaired & tested
Up to 100–300 devices a day: Windows set-up automated with custom scripts, hardware checked, stress-tested, ready for export — return rate kept under 5%.
Google & Trustpilot rating increased
Review management, social media care and targeted advertising strategies — plus a self-built system tracking clicks from reviews to the website.
Wage reimbursement for a war refugee
A Ukrainian war refugee hired with a 75% salary reimbursement through subsidies — funding that directly helped the company thrive.
Subsidies + 50% funding for a wheelchair user
A Ukrainian man in a wheelchair, without German: disability documented, one-year city-funded internship organised, then permanently hired — with over 5,000 € in subsidies and 50% of his monthly salary reimbursed.
People hired who others rejected
G., An., O. and S. — workers with no German work history, refugees, some without papers. All hired, all turned out to be incredibly intense workers with real will.
Complete company website built alone
it-taste.de — design, SEO, responsive layout, content and maintenance. Built and cared for by one person, used by the company every day.
Job interviews conducted as HR lead
Managed the HR department: phone interviews with ~30 candidates from 3 platforms, apprenticeship planning, supervision of interns from Scotland and Hamburger Arbeitsassistenz.
Automatic phone system with own voice
Recorded his own voice and set up an automatic 15-minute answering system with music — so customers stopped getting upset that the phone “wasn’t working”.
Devices connected after a full company move
Helped with the move, the electrical work and setting up internet and power for over 60 devices — planning where every cable, socket and light goes.
