The idea
of an assistant to help people search and find is far older than the Internet. However, with the foundation
of Scout24 in September 1998, it also became a reality online. The Beisheim Holding Schweiz has been
supporting the young enterprise as an investor from the very beginning.
AutoScout24 and ImmobilienScout24 were the two first operational marketplaces in 1999. In the year 2000, the Group expanded rapidly: FinanceScout24, JobScout24 and FriendScout24 went online. One year later, the Scout24 Group acquired the British online portal TopJobs, an important milestone on the path to European expansion. In June 2002, another marketplace went online: TravelScout24.
In February 2004, T-Online International AG took over the Scout24 Group. Since the upstream merger of the T-Online International AG and the Deutsche Telekom AG in June 2006, Scout24 has been a direct subsidiary of the Deutsche Telekom AG.
By launching ElectronicScout24 in October 2005, the Group completed today's spectrum of online marketplaces for the time being.
