About Playfolio

Playfolio merges casual gaming with fintech and transforms toxic “pay-to-win” into sustainable “play-to-wealth”. While young target audiences often struggle with the complexity of classic brokers, they simultaneously spend billions on mobile games. We solve this problem through “impact entertainment”: In our app, users nurture a digital pet (FinPet). But instead of burning money on useless in-game purchases, every bet automatically flows into its own, BaFin-regulated depot. This drastically lowers the barriers to entry for wealth building, solves the retention problem of classic fintech apps, and disrupts the gaming market through sustainable consumption. A product by gamers and investors for gamers and investors.

ARCIS

ARCIS builds an AI-powered decision layer for logistics and freight operations. Many logistics teams today still work with fragmented processes across TMS systems, Excel files, emails, PDFs, and the individual experience of dispatchers. This results in manual work, slow handoffs, missing information, and inefficient planning decisions. ARCIS was founded by Onur Yılmaz and Birkan Kolcu, two computer engineers whose collaboration began 14 years ago as fellow students, roommates, and long-term technical partners. Onur combines computer science expertise, business-building experience, an MSc in Informatics from Technical University of Munich, experience at Intel, and strong connections to Munich’s startup ecosystem. Birkan brings technical depth from his computer science degree at the University of Arizona as well as practical experience in cloud engineering and scalable systems. The focus on logistics emerged from close relationships with logistics companies and operators in the team’s network. As these conversations increased, a recurring pattern became clear: high-quality operational decisions are still made manually across scattered systems and personal experience. ARCIS helps logistics teams connect this information and make decisions around dispatch planning, load-truck-driver matching, capacity utilization, document processes, and operational exceptions faster and more reliably—without replacing existing systems.
