About Zerospace

Zerospace develops XR software used in product development. Our solution merges the digital information world with real-world implementation (Digital Twin). Key benefits for our customers are: significant cost reduction (approximately 45% savings potential in prototype development, …), shorter development cycles (approximately 20% more efficiency in engineering inspections), higher maturity in early stages of product development (approximately 30% prevented errors), and more informed decision-making (same information basis for developers and managers). Many users work simultaneously on the object (e.g. vehicle), some physically on-site, others virtually (AR glasses, smartphone, desktop). On the frontend side, we are platform-independent. We combine three areas of expertise: 1. Data Intelligence (all CAD data formats, bidirectional) 2. Hybrid Viewing (multi-platform) 3. Co-Authoring Experience (collaboration solution in the cloud) Target customers are companies that develop complex products, such as the automotive industry, aircraft manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and many more. Their current challenge is that development is “disconnected,” meaning there is no connection between product management, 3D engineering, and physical implementation (prototypes). We differentiate ourselves from competitors through our application expertise and the combination of hybrid viewing (not just virtual!) and co-authoring (multiple users simultaneously, across teams and locations). We are a spin-off with an 8-person team (7 of whom are developers) and have been developing XR software for many years. We are 4 founders and 4 employees. Our product is already in use in various development areas at several leading industrial companies. A major automotive manufacturer is now requesting 100 licenses. The team is in place. Customer relationships are very strong. We are now preparing the spin-out from the existing company into Zerospace. We need capital for this. The details of the spin-out scenario are still being determined. We want to become the leading provider in Europe for XR software in product development. We are like Microsoft Teams for developers and managers in development projects. Currently, the solution is still offered as an on-premise solution. In the future, we want to establish the software to a large extent as a SaaS solution. Customers pay per license. We aim to be profitable in 2024. For 2026, we project approximately €60 million in revenue (conservative planning) with very high EBIT margins, as our business is highly scalable. For 2023, we plan revenue of €2.4 million. We are starting with existing customers and see enormous growth potential there for deeper market penetration. New customers will also be acquired.

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.
