Which startups have particularly captured the attention of Munich Startup readers this month? In our “Startups of the month” section, we present the five most exciting companies that made the list this month.
nPlace 1: Outdated IT systems are slowing down clinics – Avelios Medical provides a solution. The Munich startup develops a modern hospital information system that uses structured data, enables AI, and automates administration. How a research project became a beacon of hope for the industry, the founders explained to us in a detailed interview in early April. (Photo: Avelios Medical)n

nPlace 2: What large agricultural operations have been using for some time, the Munich startup Karevo wants to make possible for small and medium-sized farms too: A compact, retrofittable sorting machine that automatically sorts out defective tubers thanks to computer vision and artificial intelligence – without tedious manual work. How it all started with a master’s thesis and a potato farm in Donauwörth, the founders Felix Beck, Benedikt Keßler, and Johannes von Wittke reported in an interview mid-month. (Photo: Karevo)n

nPlace 3: With an innovative energy concept, Solation sets new standards in supplying commercial properties with locally generated solar power. On a leased warehouse building of the technology company Knorr-Bremse, the cleantech company founded in 2023 has installed a photovoltaic system with a capacity of 55.9 kilowatt-peak. Over 73 percent of the generated electricity is consumed directly on-site –emission-free and without detours through the public grid. (Photo: Solation)n

nPlace 4: Daimler Truck and the defencetech Arx Robotics signed a letter of intent in early April for a strategic partnership. Together, they want to integrate AI and robotics technologies into military vehicle platforms. In particular, the Unimog and Zetros models of Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks are planned to be upgraded with sensor and software modules. This is intended to increase the digital connectivity and operational capability of the vehicles. (Photo: Arx Robotics)n

nPlace 5: Dock Financial was considered a beacon of hope for Munich’s fintech scene. The company developed customized financial solutions for various industries and supported its partners in integrating financial features. With the acquisition of Paydora and Compeon, the startup had attracted attention in the past. Nevertheless, the young company failed to raise fresh venture capital. At the end of May 2024, both Dock Financial GmbH and the affiliated Dock Financial Capital GmbH filed for preliminary insolvency. Now the fintech has apparently found a buyer in Rakuten. The Japanese tech company is securing the technology from Dock Financial. This was reported at the end of April by the Manager Magazin citing information from the company environment.
