Week 26 in the year ’26 is behind us and we take another look at a selection of topics that have occupied us this week. While Munich car subscription startup Finn raises 140 million euros and achieves unicorn status, Openlaw acquires the insolvent company Firma.de with its platform Beglaubigt.de. This week was also marked by strong women: whether Valerie Laubsch from Moverloop, who answers our questions in an interview, whether Saskia Müller, who talks about her startup Stellamia in the podcast Pitch & People, or Sophie Prinz, who is revolutionizing the beverage market with Prinzz Matcha. We also look forward to seeing you on July 16 when you visit us at the Kinoliebe open-air event. Have fun browsing the photo gallery!

BC Partners Credit and Runway Growth Capital together provide more than 40 million euros. With 140 million euros, the startup achieves unicorn status. With the fresh capital, Germany’s leading car subscription platform wants to expand its fleet, technology and operational infrastructure and advance its expansion into a European mobility platform.

nWomen in tech – Valerie Laubsch from Moverloop: Valerie Laubsch founded the startup Moverloop in 2024 together with Jonas Nöhl. The company combines solar power, battery storage and grid electricity into economical energy supply that benefits both property owners and companies. In the interview, she talks about why you shouldn’t wait for the perfect moment to start a company, why a functioning business model is more important than fast fundraising and why the energy industry offers enormous potential.

nPrinzz: For many, matcha is considered the natural alternative to coffee and energy drinks, but high-quality products on the go have been rare so far. With Prinzz Matcha, founder Sophie Prinz wants to change that. She talks to us about building a pure matcha brand, the upcoming national Edeka listing and the question of how a trend becomes a new beverage category. (Photo: Mona Crusius)n
