Upcoming startups in July

Zukunft digitale und offene Verwaltung ZdoV

ZdoV: Digitalization in the public sector is progressing, albeit slowly. However, new problems keep emerging. For example, there is a risk that authorities become dependent on individual vendors. And the use of many different tools doesn’t necessarily help break down data silos. The Munich startup ZdoV wants to kill two birds with one stone: with open-source ERP systems. Managing Partner Finnigan Lutz explains in an interview why open-source is better and what ERP systems can do for the public sector. (Image: ZdoV)

Fairdoc has found an answer to the shortage of skilled workers in medicine. With its placement app, the Munich startup brings understaffed clinics and doctors looking for the right fit together. The result: flexible and cost-effective workforce planning. CEO and co-founder Sylvia Edmands explains how the concept works, what challenges bureaucracy presents to them, and what tasks the founding team prefers to handle themselves. (Image: Fairdoc)

Alrighty: These days, really good coffee is available on nearly every corner in major cities like Munich. What many coffee drinkers don’t realize: the industry behind it is largely unfair and facing a number of structural challenges. Alrighty wants to change that and therefore sources its beans in an ecologically, economically, and socially responsible way – and with its Caretrade philosophy, promotes diversity in the industry. One of the founders revealed to us exactly what’s behind it in an interview. (Photo: Alrighty)

Quantum Diamonds develops highly sensitive sensors used in the development and production of microchips to detect tiny defects early. Kevin Berghoff (CEO) and Dr. Fleming Bruckmaier (CTO) told us more about their innovation and their future vision for Quantum Diamonds – and why finding investors for highly complex topics is even more challenging. In the interview they explain: “Our technology stands out through the use of NV centers in ultra-pure diamonds, which enables extremely high sensitivity and resolution.” (Image: Quantum Diamonds)

Onpier offers insurers a B2B2C platform for innovative value-added services that go beyond their core business. Through seamless integration and data-driven service chains, Onpier’s solution is not only particularly user-friendly, but also relieves the IT resources of connected insurers. We had Managing Director Alexander Hund explain the business model to us in more detail. (Image: Onpier)

Micro Factory: Because it enables customized solutions in a wide range of industries, 3D printing has gained enormous importance in recent years. But the whole truth also includes this: during the printing process, users are exposed to various health-damaging substances. Micro Factory addresses this problem. The startup manufactures high-precision 3D printers that automate the entire printing process while being safe and easy to use. COO Alexander Stieren told us how the innovative technology minimizes risks for users and takes the printing process to a new level. (Image: Micro Factory)

2NA Fish: The Munich healthtech startup 2NA Fish wants to revolutionize therapeutic decision-making for cancer. The startup’s platform technology is designed to enable precise and predictable diagnoses for cancer therapy, based on spatial analysis of gene activity. The founding team Christina Port and Johannes Breulmann answered our 7 questions. They say: “We combine DNA nanotechnology with artificial intelligence and enrich tumor analysis with a new spatial dimension of RNA expression that is currently not available. This way we want to revolutionize therapeutic decision-making in cancer treatment!” (Image: 2NA Fish)

One3: These are problems familiar to anyone driving an electric car and wanting to charge: at many locations there is a lack of comfort for waiting and you get impatient while the car charges. How Markus Weltz and Marc Arnold, who previously held leadership positions at companies including Ikea and Tesla, are solving this with One3, they tell us in an interview. (Image: One3)
