#Munich Startup Recap#Weekly Wrap-up
The Ocean Package
7 questions with The Ocean Package: Single-use cardboard boxes cause costs, waste, and CO2 – and are long outdated in e-commerce. The Ocean Package relies on a closed reusable system for shipping packaging. Founder Joshua Linn explains why the system is thought radically differently and why speed is crucial.

Pre-seed funding for Mobility Signage: The Munich-based mobilitytech startup Mobility Signage, founded in 2023, has raised 1.8 million euros in pre-seed capital. With investment from HTGF and 2bX, the company aims to establish a central data architecture that connects fragmented IT systems in public transport and standardizes real-time information.

Saksia Teufel, founder of 8pm, guest at PITCH & PEOPLE
8pm social instead of doomscrolling: Social media is addictive – not only studies and a U.S. court ruling demonstrate this, but also the everyday experience of many users. In the videocast Pitch & People, we spoke with Saskia Teufel, founder of 8pm, about why current platforms are designed to do exactly that and how her startup is taking a radically different approach to counter it.

Localee makes you an insider in your city: You search, scroll, ask around – and in the end you’re still unsure. That’s exactly where Localee comes in. The app wants to end arbitrary ratings and take you to where it’s really good: to genuine recommendations from your network. Munich Startup spoke with Dominic Preiß, CEO and co-founder of Localee.
