This week we introduced you to The Consumer AI. The Munich startup, founded in 2025, wants to revolutionize market research with AI. Collimate Health and Causa Prima are each securing multiple millions of euros in seed funding, and we invited Secfix founder Fabiola Munguia to our Pitch & People studio. There she talks about the crucial turning point in her startup career. We also have another guest post from our Munich Startup Experts series for you: Tim Bäulke explains how to find the perfect location for your company. Finally, you should mark Slush in November in your calendar, as we’re still looking for Munich startups for that.
