Founded in 2006 in Budapest, Hungary, Starschema initially worked for the European market. By the early 2010s, the company counted a number of Fortune 500 companies among its clients, including General Electric, Apple Inc. and Johnson & Johnson.[2] In 2016, the Government of Hungary awarded Starschema the Grand Prix for Innovation in IT,[3] and the company opened its US headquarters in the following year[4] after a $5m investment by the Central European venture capital fund PortfoLion.[5] Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Starschema posted a revenue of $14.2m for the 2020 fiscal year.[1] On 14 January 2022, HCL Technologies announced an agreement to acquire Starschema for US$42,500,000, subject to regulatory approvals from the Government of Hungary.[6] The acquisition was finalized on 6 April 2022.[7]
