'The Lion's Den': Life-size floor plan secures investment

Gissou and Lucas Nummer founded 'Grundriss in Lebensgröße'. Together with their employee Maximilian Mühlegg, the Munich-based company appeared on the TV show 'Die Höhle der Löwen' (The Lion's Den) and secured an investment.

Life-size floor plan offers builders exactly what the name promises: In a 600 m² hall, the Munich Eight high-performance projectors have been installed. This allows floor plans to be projected onto the hall floor in their original size. Customers furnish their future homes with the help of rollable walls and cardboard furniture. Costly planning errors can be avoided with the Munich-based company's services. Lucas number says:

"The customer comes to our workshop and discovers their planned floor plan for the very first time, before they even start building. This also clarifies the usual questions, such as where should the dining table be, where should the kitchen be?"

Four investors jump on life-size floor plan

At the time of recording the show, the Munich-based company had only been on the market for six weeks with their concept, but it was already extremely successful, according to Gissou number:

"People are literally flocking to our store. We're the first and only ones in Europe to offer this innovation. That's why we need your support to bring floor plans to life across Europe."

The startup is offering 20 percent of the company's shares for €300,000 in capital. All five TV investors are impressed by the concept and the founders. However, Ralf Dümmel is withdrawing from the bidding process due to the thematic disparity with his business. Carsten Maschmeyer turns to Judith Williams:

"Do we want to do that? We'll make them big!"

However, Nils Glagau and Dagmar Wöhrl are the first to make an offer: They offer €300,000 for 30 percent of the company. Williams and Maschmeyer also offer the requested amount, but only demand 25.1 percent of the shares. After a brief deliberation, the Munich-based company decides to accept the offer from Judith Williams and Carsten Maschmeyer.
