Board & Bed

Anyone planning an event in a city, offering a workshop, or implementing a creative project usually faces the same chaos: You search for a venue on one platform, book service providers via social media, and try to reach participants through three other channels. There’s simply no central hub that connects these worlds. That’s exactly where we come in with Nowtown. We’re building the first truly all-in-one marketplace for urban experiences. Everything comes together with us: creators and businesses can flexibly rent extraordinary spaces, directly book the right local service providers (such as photographers or caterers), and publish their own events. Users find everything on Nowtown that makes their city come alive. We consolidate fragmented city life on one platform, strengthen the local economy, and finally make discovering and organizing events uncomplicated.

Sortie — your evening, in your neighborhood. You’re in an unfamiliar city on business, the meeting is over, the evening is open — or it’s just Tuesday at home, you want to go out, but don’t know where. In either case, Sortie shows you in seconds what’s possible this evening in your immediate vicinity: the good restaurant around the corner, a concert, an evening with something happening. No registration, no profile, no scrolling through hundreds of events. Sortie is deliberately not a social network and not a dating app. No permanent profiles, no tracking — what you discover in the evening disappears again at midnight. “Tonight only” is both our product and data protection principle. If you like, you can find company: at an open table, you come together anonymously with others heading to the same place this evening — without obligation, without a lasting trace. For restaurateurs, Sortie is a free visibility channel: their announcements reach people nearby who don’t yet follow them — and quiet evenings can be filled with a subtle signal. No commission, no fees, no contract. Founded in Oberding near Munich, bootstrapped, European in style. Whether on a business trip or spontaneously in your own city — Sortie turns an empty evening into a good decision, in ten seconds.

The 2n8life GmbH develops a user-friendly system for measuring nocturnal erections including an app for visualizing the results. A textile cuff is worn overnight by the man. It measures erections and sends them via Bluetooth to the smartphone. In the app, the user sees his results in the context of the comparison group. The main applications are differential diagnostics for erectile dysfunction (organic or psychological causes) and use as a digital biomarker for cardiovascular diseases.
