Celebrations at Peak Quantum over a successful pre-seed round, new millions for the Munich contech startup Conxai, and Vyoma CEO Stefan Frey, who talks about espionage attacks on our satellites at Pitch & People. Because, following Rio Reiser’s spirit, this week again applies: All of this and much more is what I would read if I were a fan of Munich Startup.

#Munich Startup Recap#Weekly Wrap-up
preweal sports ROTATOR V3
7 questions with Preweal: The Munich startup is developing the “Rotator” with the help of Preweal, a training device for the shoulder that is supposed to map natural movements realistically for the first time. Without electricity, but with 360-degree rotation and constant resistance, it is intended to make therapy more efficient and relieve specialists of their burden. How a new category in shoulder training is supposed to emerge from this, one of the three founders explains in the interview. (Photo: Preweal Sports GmbH)
Das Team von Peak Quantum
Peak Quantum secures 5 million euros for new approach: While many quantum computer approaches rely on downstream error correction, Peak Quantum is taking a different path: error resistance is integrated directly into the physical architecture of the qubits. This hardware-based approach is designed to significantly reduce complexity and shorten the path to industrially usable quantum computers. Now the Munich startup has completed a pre-seed round of 2.2 million euros and thereby achieved total financing of over five million euros. (Photo: Peak Quantum)
Attacks in space! How Vyoma wants to protect Europe’s satellites: Attacks, espionage and increasingly dense traffic in space: In the Pitch & People videocast, Vyoma CEO Stephan Frey talks about why satellites have long become critical infrastructure and how his startup wants to provide more security in orbit with its own satellites.

New millions for Conxai: The Munich contech startup Conxai has completed a funding round of 5 million euros. This is led by BayBG Venture Capital and Capricorn Partners. With the fresh capital, the company wants to continue expanding its agentic AI platform and scale internationally to automate complex construction processes. Here’s our report. (Photo: Conxai)
TUM
Munich universities produce the most exit founders: A current evaluation shows: hardly any location produces as many successful startup founders as Munich. At the same time, there is room for improvement when it comes to diversity, as our report shows. (Photo: Kathrin Ruf / TUM)
Mynaric
130-million-euro deal: Rocket Lab has completed the acquisition of the Munich-based Mynaric AG and spent a total of approximately 131 million euros (155 million dollars) in the form of nominal cash payment plus 2,277,002 Rocket Lab shares. The deal is relevant for the space market because Rocket Lab thereby acquires a technology that was previously scarce and difficult to obtain, while also establishing its first European location in Munich.
