With their tool, they can calculate the fuel flow of the engine with the respective plane. Now the machine learning framework will train the algorithm. DATAbility develops customized software solutions and digital services for the diagnosis and prognosis of machine status and the automation of processes aiming to reduce the quality-related costs in failure control, prevention, and correction. A high level of customer satisfaction and strong customer loyalty should have top priority in mechanical and plant engineering. But machine downtimes impede these and cost a lot of money. The identification of the correct spare part or the cause of system downtime is not trivial.

They are also open for a strategic partner to widen their (sales) network.

QuoScient helps to analyze, investigate and respond to cyber-threats Attackers are devious… During the current health crisis, they are going after health institutions and hospitals. They don’t basically care that they are doing damage to people who have already health problems. Ioannis Bizimis, Co-Founder QuoScient The FounderIn this interview, we are talking to Ioannis Bizimis (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ioannis-bizimis-6423527/, https://twitter.com/defense_active), the Co-Founder, CFO, CRO, and CISO of QuoScient. Ioannis has been an Investment Manager, project lead with Dow Jones, with MarkIt, an employee of Deutsche Bank and other well-regarded companies. He has a lot of experience and with this experience, he started to set up QuoScient. One of the biggest strategies [of hackers] is to come into your network and stay there and install as many backdoors as they can. They will use them when they need it.

It costs hackers just a few hundred Dollars or Euros to build up an attack campaign. The effort on the other side is thousands, sometimes millions to understand this kind of campaign.

Try our partner Bitwala with this affiliate link here http://bit.ly/2w01ZyeThe StartupCurrently, large corporates invite mobility providers to bid for their contracts on a regular basis, so they can get the best price. This is a hassle for small companies with corporate car fleets of 50 cars in one country but takes on quite different dimensions if a company has to provide mobility to thousands of employees across several continents. All trips need to be efficient in terms of time, costs, and CO2. There was a feeling in the market … to end the manual mode of purchasing corporate mobility.

Quantgene can detect early-stage cancer in a single draw of bloodWhat we are doing is a potential game-changer in medicine. … it makes the detection [of dead cells form tumors] single-molecule precise. Johannes “Jo” Bhakdi – CEO and Co-Founder of Quantgene The FounderIn this interview, we talk to Johannes “Jo” Bhakdi (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jo-bhakdi-5048811/), originally born and raised in the Rhine-Main Area in Germany, but now founder of the AI and Big Data Startup Quantgene (https://www.quantgene.com/, https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/quantgene) in Santa Monica, CA. Quantgene describes itself as a deep genomics startup. They also have an office in Berlin and they hire for both locations. By training Jo is an economist, who graduated from the University of Tübingen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_T%C3%BCbingen), a research-heavy university known for its 11 Nobel Laureates in Medicine, Chemistry, and Physics. Jo started out in advertising and marketing (marketing strategy). He went from there in corporate development, especially mergers and acquisitions. This brought to the USA, first to New York with a stop in venture capital. He was working with his first startup in quantitative seed-stage investments. What we developed is blood test, that guides physicians in detection of early stage cancer.

Try our partner Bitwala with this affiliate link here http://bit.ly/2w01Zye The Startup To give you an idea of what we are doing: It is a few megabytes – a simple sequencing of your genome. What we are doing generates files of 200+ Gigabytes Johannes “Jo” Bhakdi – CEO and Co-Founder of Quantgene Quantgene is a deep tech startup, working with ai, machine learning, and big data to fight cancer. They describe themselves as a deep genome startup. Quantgene is working on unlocking specific hints about cancer in the human genome since cancer is “encoding” itself into the human genome. Quantgene developed a very specific new capability to unlock the human genome of a very deep level. Startups like 23andme generate averages in genome sequencing, a kind of simplification. Quantgene’s approach, on the other hand, is much more specific, but also very complex. They are looking for dead cancer cells – so-called cell-free DNA – in your blood sample. This only works if they are not working with averages but analyze a single copy of DNA in a sample. They had to develop a vast software infrastructure and their own chemistry to make their idea work. Quantgene also has an office in Berlin, from which Jo joined the Startuprad.io interview. They call it the “Mustererkennungs Einheit” which means the pattern recognition unit. Quantgene launches in 2020 (as planned before Corona) first in the USA and within some time they want to launch in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. When you have very early cancer, no one can see, and no one can find – with the current methods. The cancer cells die, and they shed the dead cells into your blood. So they are in your blood as cell free DNA.

Johannes Laub, CEO and Co-Founder CrowdDesk Affiliate LinksThe current situation with the Coronavirus related lockdown is frequently compared to severe economic recessions including, but not limited to the 2008 Financial Crisis and the Stock Market Crash of 1929.

Meet Berlin-based cryptocurrency challenger bank Bitwala“We let people buy and sell bitcoin directly from their bank account” Benjamin Jones, CEO/CTO and Co-Founder of Bitwala This interview is our Easter Special. Keep safe, stay at home and enjoy the video. Please note at the very bottom of this post, there is a link where you can give us direct feedback. The founderIn this interview, Joe from Startuprad.io talks to Benjamin Jones (https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjaminpeterjones/), CEO/CTO and Co-Founder of Bitwala (https://www.bitwala.com/). Bitwala is a challenger bank, based in Berlin which offers shifting from fiat currency (Euro) into Bitcoin and Ethereum on their app. Benjamin is originally from Bristol and studied Philosophy and Economics in London. He traveled one year in South America and became …as he says, “became a hippie.” An internship than took him to Berlin, where he worked in a startup. He tried out many things, including a company builder which aimed to become the “Rocket Internet of Cryptocurrencies.” “Core banking is relatively unexciting. That’s not where the innovation is happening” Benjamin Jones, CEO/CTO and Co-Founder of Bitwala ______________________________________________ Affiliate LinksLooking for a bank account to shift between crypto and fiat? Sign up with Bitwala here. Due to regulations, Bitwala can only accept customers resident in the European Economic Area (EU plus Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and Lichtenstein), with a few exceptions like US citizens. ____________________________________________________ The Startup“A [bitcoin to cash] transaction takes usually 20 minutes” Benjamin Jones, CEO/CTO and Co-Founder of Bitwala The name Bitwala comes from a computer bit, and wallah. In India, you call someone who brings the, for example, the tea a chai wallah (https://chaipilgrimage.com/blogs/journal/8413337-what-is-a-chai-wallah). The company wants to be “the bringer of bits.” Bitwala is describing itself as a challenger bank. As is typical for many challenger banks, they don’t have a banking license, but rather work together with licensed banks. “All startups need to focus in an extreme way” Benjamin Jones, CEO/CTO and Co-Founder of Bitwala Bitwala is a challenger bank, founded in Berlin. Their USP is the ability to shift between Euros, Bitcoin and Ethereum in their app, without the need for a cryptocurrency exchange. “What most people got excited about crypto currencies in the earlier times was their application in the developing world. …there is 1.7 bn unbanked.” Benjamin Jones, CEO/CTO and Co-Founder of Bitwala Right now Bitwala does not have a third-party custodian for the crypto assets, they are offering non-custodian wallets. So the client has to take care of their crypto assets by themselves, but the client also holds her/his private keys. During the interview, we also talk about their former product, a bitcoin credit card, which they had to drop. This put Bitwala in a difficult position, in which they decided to build the world’s first cryptocurrency bank account. After the interview Bitwala published their number of customers, they had (at release) more than 50.000 clients in 32 countries (Link opens PDF). The Video Interview is Our Easter Special – It is set to go live on April 10th 15.00 CET (10 am East Coast Time, 14.00 London)https://youtu.be/DuomByTCLKk Venture Capital Funding Bitwala is looking to raise a Series B in Q3 2020 of 15-20 million Euros (up to 22 mn USS). Keep in mind this interview was recorded before the Corona Virus Outbreak. “In our last funding round, we have been in this [notary] room together for 19 hours … but I understand why. It is just good for everybody to hear the contract one last time” Benjamin Jones, CEO/CTO and Co-Founder of Bitwala Bitwala has already raised several financing rounds, totaling...

How to lure corporate talent in a Startup? I think most entrepreneurs will know that it never goes right … you see stories in the media of overnight successes … but most founders will know this is not the case. William Laitinen, CEO and Founder Exige The FounderWe talk to William Laitinen (https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-laitinen-93282/, https://twitter.com/WilliamLaitinen), co-founder of Exige International an executive search agency (https://www.exigeinternational.com/). During this interview, we are talking to him not only as a founder, who bootstrapped his company, sleeping on his cousins’ couch, but also who survived the global financial crisis starting in 2008.

He classically bootstrapped his company, starting crashing on the couch of his cousin and working his way up from there. He called it “the golden age of headhunting,” and like many others he thought it would always go on like this. So, he was in a great spot, just before the bankruptcy of Lehmann Brothers which almost froze hiring in Investment Banking and strategy consulting. I was in the worst place you could be in the financial crisis … I didn’t do a deal for 18 months. William Laitinen, CEO and Founder Exige William used the global financial crisis to change his focus and now is working primarily with insurance companies in Western Europe, specifically in Switzerland, as well as with insurtechs. You will face a whole heap of problems and challenges starting a company … Who you want to hire is really really important in overcoming the problems you will be facing. William Laitinen, CEO and Founder Exige Advice in Hiring People leave their job for just two reasons: Logic and emotions. William Laitinen, CEO and Founder Exige William talks about hiring for startups, especially about the importance of the first hires. He is recommending looking for four core values in the new hires: IntegrityHumilityAssertiveResilienceYou could add curiosity I love hiring people smarter than me! You turbo charge your environment. William Laitinen, CEO and Founder Exige William also encourages founders to look for cognitive differences, especially in the first employees. Ideally, you hire someone smarter than you with different thinking, so he/she will be able to attack problems in another way. He is recommending a different gender, ethnicity or different de...

The company provides on its platform multinational companies with apartments all around the world. This is a great service for multinationals since they must provide housing for their employees on international assignments. One can book apartments on Acomodeo from four days to two years. The goal is to get the client a seamless travel experience, so the startup sees itself more like a startup in the travel industry (traveltech), rather than a property startup (proptech). For a B2B startup this [Frankfurt] is a better location. Eric-Jan Krausch during his Startuprad.io interview Acomodeo vets the suppliers before they get on their platform.

Since the Corona outbreak in Europe, we surpassed 150.000 subscribers. I would like to thank you all and keep you up to date with the current development. Public life in Germany is now greatly reduced. In most of Germany’s sixteen states the opening hours of bars and restaurants are severely limited and only selected stores (think groceries, pharmacies, …) remain open during normal hours. This has a great impact on startups in Germany, from changing to remote-only work, to a heavy drag on revenues, to finding emergency funding. We thought we would give you an overview, as a short flash update. We want to provide you with collections of links and reports, that point you where to find information, help and can read more.

Codario.io makes open source security easyMedia PartnershipThis interview is in media cooperation with Frankfurt Forward (https://www.frankfurtforward.com/news/). Codario is the Startup of the Month March 2020. Congratulations! The FounderWe talk to Johannes “Joe” Noll (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannes-noll-10907478/), co-founder and CEO at Codario.io (formerly known as App Guard) (https://codario.io/, https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/codario), a cybersecurity startup from the Rhine-Main Area (Darmstadt). Johannes is a returning interview partner, due to our media partnership. If you want to learn more about him and the startup, see at the end of this post for the interview posted on October 10th 2019, where we talked to him at an event. Johannes got sucked in the startup world by attempting to make a copycat of the app Jodel (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/jodel). It is an app for sharing anonymously gossip. The name is inspired by the Bavarian jodeln (see video below – Further Readings). We help software developers to use open source in a secure way.

Frankfurt is a work minded city. Peter Hart during his Startuprad.io interview The FounderIn this interview for Invest-in-hessen.com we are talking to Peter Hart (https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-hart-94373435/), a serial entrepreneur, based in Frankfurt. Despite being just 28 years old, Peter already launched 12 ventures. He started out back in 2015 with his consumer product brand Dr. Severin (https://drseverin.com/). During his first venture launch, Joe interviewed Peter in German back in 2015. We talk to him about his newest venture Pythia AI (https://www.pythia-ai.com/) I don’t divide between business books and private books. If you grow personally, you grow as a leader. Peter Hart during his Startuprad.io interview The StoryWe talk to him to learn more about his 12th venture, called Pythia AI (https://www.pythia-ai.de/). Pythia was started when Peter followed his data-driven approach to launch new consumer products and he got approached by Rossmann (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rossmann_(company)), Germany’s 2nd largest chain of drug stores. The drug store chain invested in the startup (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/pythia#section-funding-rounds) to help them with forecasting trends for product development. In case you are wondering: The venture is named after the priest, founding and serving the Oracle of Delphi in Greek mythology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythia). Peter looks a bit tired in the interview, since he just returned from opening an office in Sunny Vale, in the Silicon Valley. We are very happy with the talent pool here (in Frankfurt), especially the engineers. Peter Hart during his Startuprad.io interview The Silicon Valley JourneyDuring his time in Silicon Valley, Peter wanted to reach out to venture capital investors. He went along the two main streets where they are headquartered and knocked on their doors. Surprisingly this was very successful, and it appears no one has done this before. Series A Venture Capital RoundDespite knocking on many doors in Silicon Valley, Pythia is not done with their fundraising and they are looking for additional investors for their Series A fundraising. I think philosophy goes really well with business. You formulate a more concrete business philosophy.

Three Interviews from Graduation Ceremony of Founder Institute FrankfurtThis is the first interview for all three startup ideas. The founders just graduated in the first batch of the Frankfurt Chapter of the Founder Institute. The Founder Institute is the world's largest pre-seed startup accelerator, having helped launch over 4,000 companies across 185+ cities and six continents. The company was founded in 2009 by serial entrepreneur Adeo Ressi and his colleague, Jonathan Greechan. The idea for the program spawned from operating TheFunded.com, where it became apparent that most entrepreneurs at the idea and launch stages lacked the structure, feedback, and support network needed to be successful.

The fintech CrowdDesk offers Funding-As-A-ServiceThis interview is in media cooperation with Frankfurt Forward (https://www.frankfurtforward.com/news/). We talk to Johannes Laub (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannes-laub/), one of three Founders and Managing Partner of CrowdDesk (www.crowddesk.de), a Frankfurt-based fintech. They started out as a crowdfunding tool for municipalities and developed into a white-label solution for crowdfunding platforms, as of January 2020 running 56 crowdfunding platforms. They developed the tool further into a point at which startups can raise funds e.g. by integrating their “Go fund me” button on their website. In the interview, we talk about how he went from an apprenticeship in a bank selling mutual funds, to university, had some experiences with starting a music label. He even experienced sales cycles in municipalities and found startup funding as a lucrative market. With the go-fund-me Button a company placed on its website, any company sticking to the local rules could raise funds this way.

The digitalization game is never ever a game won by a single company Marc Gille, Founder and CEO THING TECHNOLOGIES during his Startuprad.io interview The FounderIn this interview, we talk to the serial entrepreneur Marc Gille (https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-gille-2165946/), Founder and CEO of THING TECHNOLOGIES. Marc founded his first startup, a business process management platform, in Frankfurt in 2000. He sold this startup in 2006 to SunGard, now part of FIS (https://www.fisglobal.com/about-us). Marc went on to work for FIS in New York as Senior Vice President for more a decade, before founding his current startup THING TECHNOLOGIES (https://www.thing-it.com/) in Brooklyn. He later moved with his startup’s headquarter from Brooklyn to Frankfurt, leaving some operations in New York. If you want something more hip, certain places in Offenbach will do Marc Gille, Founder and CEO THING TECHNOLOGIES during his Startuprad.io interview The StartupTHING TECHNOLOGIES is a proptech startup, owner of the Thing-it platform. The Thing-it Platform allows configuring digitalization solutions for all participants (real estate developers, tenants, co-workers, residents, guests, properties managers, facilities managers, service providers) using and operating a building. Venture CapitalTHING TECHNOLOGIES already raised a Series A venture capital round with coparion and PropTech 1 Ventures (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/thing-technologies-llc#section-lists-featuring-this-company). They are still looking to raise more money, in a second closing of their Series A round.

The InterviewIn this interview, we talk to an international entrepreneur, of which we try to bring you approx. 30% of our content. This time we have the pleasure to interview a member of “Forbes Asia 30 Under 30” Lucy Yueting Liu (https://www.linkedin.com/in/awxlucy/), co-founder of Hongkong-based fintech unicorn Airwallex (https://www.airwallex.com/). Airwallex is simplifying international payments for companies. “Valuation is the result of what you did well. It is not really a milestone itself. Valuation means nothing if there is no growth” Lucy Liu, Co-Founder fintech unicorn Airwallex ContextDuring the interview, Joe and Lucy talk about her past as an investment consultant and intern at banks. She jumped pretty young into the startup world. The idea of Airwallex is to offer a cheaper better and more convenient alternative to SWIFT, which was invented in the 70s (see details below). “The average time a CEO of a startup stays as CEO is 3 years.

BackgroundPublic blockchains, like Ethereum and Bitcoin, can only perform ten transactions per second. If you only want to put one percent of global financial markets on the blockchain, you would have to do hundreds of thousands more. That is where Perun comes in. They are a B2B startup and work with other companies who are interested in blockchain or already working with it. Perun generates an additional layer on the original blockchain, their protocol (2nd layer off-blockchain) is more secure and much faster by enabling transactions to be sent peer to peer in separate channels without confirmation of thousands of blockchain miners. In each channel, thousands of transactions per second are possible with current technology. Perun’s channel technology could also be used by centralized financial networks like credit card companies or other payment providers (think PayPal). Their channel technology also allows machine-to-machine-payments on blockchains. During the interview, we also talk about their technology’s theoretical limit. They will soon release their protocol as an open-source developer kit. Find more information on that on their website. Interview PartnerIn this interview, Joe is talking to Sebastian Stammler – Implementation Lead (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebstar/) and Hendrik Amler Scrum Master (https://www.linkedin.com/in/hendrik-amler-932506191/) at Darmstadt based Blockchain startup PERUN (https://perun.network/). At the time of the interview (October 2019), the company was not yet incorporated. Perun is part of a research group jointly of TU Darmstadt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technische_Universit%C3%A4t_Darmstadt) and University of Warsaw (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Warsaw). TU Darmstadt is one of the great starting points for many deep-tech startups (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_tech) here in Germany.

In this interview, Joe talks to Gesa of this year’s winner of the CONTENTshift (https://www.contentshift.de/en/) accelerator QualiFiction. Learn more here: https://www.contentshift.de/en/contentshift/news/congratulations-to-qualifiction/.
Publishers receive more than 4 million book proposals for SciFi novels each year, in the German-speaking area alone. Now QualiFiction wants to help here so more texts can be evaluated by the publishers. The startup has an AI, which can – within 60 seconds – evaluate a SciFi text. So, they avoid publishers sending back unread proposals to the aspiring authors, due to a lack of readers for evaluation. They also generate the metadata (e.g. genre) for the text.
QualiFiction is also looking for publishers who give them masses of texts in different languages so they can extend their offering to other languages, besides German.

All the recordings on this channel are made possible by Invest in Hessen (learn more here https://www.invest-in-hessen.com/home). You can find this specific channel here as audio and video stand-alone podcast or via all channels of Startuprad.io.

VC FundingIn this interview, Joe from Startuprad.io is talking to Florian Brokamp (https://www.linkedin.com/in/florian-brokamp-5a329876/), CEO of Thinksurance (https://thinksurance.de/en/start/), a Frankfurt-based insurtech startup. The fintech just raised 13 mn venture capital (https://www.policendirekt.com/en/thinksurance-raises-e13m-in-series-b-funding/) so Startuprad.io took the opportunity and stop by on short notice to ask one of the founders what they will do with all the money. Startup is not about the events, it is not about “raising big”… its more important to believe in yourself, be happy and create your vision. ThinksuranceFirst some information on the startup: Thinksurance is the leading commercial insurance distribution platform in Germany. Its technology connects insurers, distributors from all sales channels and business customers on its intelligent analytics and distribution platform. The company was founded in Frankfurt, Germany, first entered the market in 2016 under the brand “Gewerbeversicherung24” and was rebranded in 2019. By now, the insurtech has almost 50 employees and is led by its two founders Florian Brokamp and Christopher Leifeld as well as Vasil Vasilev and Timm Weitzel. The insurtech is looking to increase headcount considerably and expand to other countries like France, Belgium and the Netherlands. As second priority they are looking to the USA and Asia. Tune in the interview to learn more. We would hope that in Germany in general and Frankfurt in specific there would be more support from the Government …

This time Joe talks to Kostas, CEO, and Co-Founder of Blendo, our first interview with a startup from Athens. Blendo works in ELT, they allow their clients to access all of their data, so they can use the data directly. Blendo helps the company to validate its data. One could say Blendo becomes, therefore, part of the infrastructure of the company. Kostas started with technology at an early age. He started early on in his studies to work with data.
“Data is the blood and oxygen of companies to remain competitive”
The HQ of Blendo is in Athens, but the legal entity is registered in Delaware. The reason behind it is that the first investors of the company have been from Israel and they agree to locate the headquarter of the company there. For some time, the startup has also been located in Tel Aviv, so Blendo now considers itself a global company. “Being a founder is a life-transforming experience.”
Blendo has most of its customers in the United States but has employees in the US, Israel, and Greece.
“We re-invented the ETL process”
“I belong to the analog to digital generation. We started analog and ended up in the digital age”

This interview is a Columbus Day Special. Suhas Patel is a serial entrepreneur. He is originally from India. Suhas is living for 14 years in Germany. He started 18 startups so far. Startuprad.io visited him in a meeting room in a co-working space in Frankfurt to talk about his new venture Tvarit, an Industrial AI company. “I believe this startup has the potential to be a unicorn” Suhas calls himself a “Technology Evangelist” Before founding his startups he was working in R&D departments of Qualcomm and Intel. “With the 18 startups, I helped entrepreneurs to start their business” Suhas is working on a concept of “Business Driven Philanthropy” to build new business verticals on the latest technologies. He had to close 70% of the startups he helped to start. This is great, especially since normally 90% of startups do not survive. Now he decided to stop all his assignments and concentrate 100% on Tvarit, to make the AI startup the first unicorn in Frankfurt. “B2C Ai startups are mainly in China and the US. For B2B there is a great potential for Germany” Tvarit (त्वरित)is a Sanskrit word, almost 3000 years old, it means fast. Tvarit's core values are based on "FASTER customer journey" and "PERSISTENT prediction accuracy". The concept of Industry4.0 is misunderstood as condition monitoring. Tvarit takes a step further by taking the data from the condition monitoring and provide the analytics to give actionable insights. “we have the potential to become the SAP of Artificial Intelligence, since we can get a 360 degree view of the whole manufacturing unit.” For those, who do not understand Joe’s joke: Skynet is the evil computer AI in the Terminator franchise, trying to eliminate mankind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynet_(Terminator) “Two things are important, execution and focus” Having strong R&D, Tvarit guarantees a patent application during the first 4-months project. “You need to execute wisely and fast”

In this interview, we talk to Yoram Wijngaarde (https://www.linkedin.com/in/yoramdw/), founder of the data platform Dealroom.co (https://blog.dealroom.co/). He is a former employee of Lehmann Brothers New York (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehman_Brothers), and during the interview, we talk about his experience of the collapse from the inside. After some stops in investment banking in New York, he went on to become employee No 2 of Noah Advisors, a boutique for startups in Berlin. During all of his work, he bumped into problems finding good data on the valuation of startups in Europe. Data for startups from the UK and US is easy to come by, but continental Europe was still a problem. He then set out to solve this problem with the founding of Dealroom.co.

This interview is in media cooperation with Frankfurt Forward (https://www.frankfurtforward.com/news/). We talk to Sulfotools (https://en.sulfotools.com), the Startup of the Month September 2019. In this interview, we talk to Christina Uth, the startup’s founder and Managing Director (https://www.linkedin.com/in/christina-uth-29293097/). In the interview, we learn how Christina went from studying chemical engineering to her Ph.D. and how they discovered by accident the basis for their startup. Sulfotools invented a new method for the production of peptides, which replaces very toxic components with water. Their method is greener, more sustainable and cheaper, than existing methods. They invented their new method by accident. We are right now four people, but we are looking for investors to scale our production Accidents, by the way, have a great tradition to bring humanity forward, like the discovery of penicillin, one of the world’s first antibiotics (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/the-real-story-behind-the-worlds-first-antibiotic). We have developed easily scalable production processes to an industrial scale Sulfotools is a STEM startup, which revolutionizes the production of peptides (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide), which are small biomolecules. They are used in cancer therapeutics, anti-aging products, and even food supplements. Commonly peptides are produced in a very toxic process and Sulfotools changes that. Their method replaces very toxic components in the production of peptides with water. This is the last “startup of the month” interview ☹ since we reached the planned end of the Frankfurt Forward program. We hope that the program will be back soon!

Again the screw-up fairy was visiting us with CASHLINK, the last few minutes of the interviews did not get recorded by the server. This interview is in media cooperation with Frankfurt Forward (https://www.frankfurtforward.com/startups/cashlink). In this interview, we are talking with Michael Duttlinger, who is Co-Founder and CEO of CASHLINK. CASHLINK is a tokenization platform for startups, where they can tokenize phantom shares.

This appears to be a new trend, sometimes called VentureTech Due to the recent interview with CASHLINK, we focus more a bit on the German VC scene, rather than the startup itself. You can learn a lot about the functioning of the German VC market during this interview. During the interview we are talking about: • Rhine-Main-Area: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_Rhine-Main • RhineMain.vc: https://rheinmain.vc/ or go directly to the Medium Blog: https://medium.com/@RhineMainVC • Handelsregister (Germany’s company register): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_register In a startup with three founders, one is only focused on raising venture capital. We want to reduce the time a founder spends on raising venture capital.

We talk to Lei Shen, she is the founder of Sax Power GmbH (http://www.sax-ulm.de/Home). The startup is still in a very early stage. None the less they are working on a technology to rival Tesla. Other than current battery manufacturers, who are using active and passive balancing technology in their Lithium-Ion batteries, SAX Power uses a new technology they call rotating balancing. They claim with their technology a longer lifetime of the battery packs with equal weight. The technology has its greatest advantage with an even energy use. They are definitely a startup; we will keep track of. Sax Power is looking for investors, as well as development partners in the automotive and shipping industry. “We are very sure our technology is far better than the one of Tesla.” Lei Shen "We can even solve a problem, Tesla can’t. We can shut down our battery in 0.2 seconds. This reduces the fire risk by a factor of 10.000 during a car crash” Lei Shen “We are looking for an investor from Germany or the USA” Lei Shen This interview is part of a series of interviews done at the Aufschwung Messe in Frankfurt, one of the large startup and entrepreneur fairs in Germany, with the backing of multiple sponsors and public institutions.

You are listening to the audio track of a video interview. Find the video here: https://www.startuprad.io/blog/my-fashionary-com-connects-online-and-offline-fashion/ In this interview, we talk to Beatrix v. Winterfeldt-Heuser, co-founder of My-Fashionary, management consultant and mother of two. My-Fashionary.com is a fashion platform where you can find independent designers, who design premium fashion you won’t find anywhere on the high street. Since the designers and the brands are not known yet they decided to combine online and offline fashion. For example, did they have a pop-up store in Berlin’s Friedrichstrasse at the beginning of 2018. My-Fashionary just did a pivot. Before they have been a platform for high-end fashion boutiques, which did not work. They even worked with external developers and had to throw everything into the bin at for a re-launch. Now you can buy high-end fashion form the designers directly via their platform, cutting out the middle (wo)men and enable unknown designers to build up a customer base. They now work with a unique way of social selling they developed. “People get bored by the always similar high street shopping experience. It is always the same whether you are in London, Singapore, Berlin or Frankfurt” “If you don’t know it will work, work with bootstrapped stuff, that already exists” You can learn more about their pop-up store in Düsseldorf here with this behind-the-scenes video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KByEAU73qg You can learn more about the company here: https://my-fashionary.com/ Or follow their Instagram account for inspirations: https://www.instagram.com/my_fashionary/ https://www.instagram.com/p/-kSCt1ipsU/ Or YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGhQPbP_W3cdhuYIYYwECJA

CashLink is a tokenization platform based in Frankfurt. The startup helps other startups to issue securities in the form of security tokes. Their idea comes from their own experience in raising venture capital, they still remember the pain of raising venture capital in an all paper-based environment. They also lower the transaction cost for each VC round, based on their platform. So they decided to take on that minor challenge of digitizing the German venture capital scene. CashLink is currently offering its service for startups in Germany and investors from the European Union, but they are working on extending their service to startups all over the European Union. In this interview, we talk to Michael Duttlinger (https://www.linkedin.com/in/duttlinger/), CEO and Co-Founder of CASHLINK (https://cashlink.de/). Joe interviewed Michael at the Fintech Hub of Deutsche Börse https://www.venture-network.com/dbvn-de/fintech-hub (here is the view (or parts of it) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bno9mWQBRp0/, which is located in the borough of Bornheim https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bornheim_(Frankfurt_am_Main) in Frankfurt.

Originally this interview was intended as a video interview, but the autofocus did not work. Quotes: The irony is that investors must go through a long and tiresome process to invest in a startup to get digitization started. Jörn CashLink Interview We want to digitize venture capital. In our legal framework … you can sell your startup shares basically at any time at very low transaction costs, because it is now digital. In the near future we will see more hybrid (financed) startups, wo have tokenized and non-tokenized shares. Our framework is only for professional investors who ware used to invest in startups.

In this interview, we talk to Dr. Daniel Bartsch, COO, and Co-Founder of Frankfurt-based creditshelf. It is a novelty since it IPOed successfully in Frankfurt in summer 2018 with a volume of 16.5 m Euros and so became (as of October 2018) the first - and for now only - listed pure-play fintech from Germany to be listed. Creditshelf is a credit market place, where small and medium businesses can lend money up to 5 mn Euros.
