Offgen

offgen is building the Company Brain for PowerPoint. We connect a company’s existing SharePoint structure, approved presentations, individual slides, framework stacks and templates to AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot. When an AI creates or edits a presentation, offgen routes it to the correct company material and provides the rules for using it. This allows consulting firms, banks and enterprise teams to use AI while preserving their institutional knowledge, corporate design and established presentation workflows. The result is faster access to reliable company information and high-quality, fully editable PowerPoint presentations

ambuflow

At Ambuflow, we develop and operate the first end-to-end operating system specifically designed for outpatient surgical centers. By 2030, an additional 2 million surgeries previously performed on an inpatient basis are set to be carried out on an outpatient basis. To deliver complex outpatient surgeries economically and to the highest standards, outpatient surgical centers require seamless, controllable processes that differ significantly from inpatient surgical operations. Our digital platform enables efficient, safe, and controllable outpatient surgical operations, from surgery registration all the way to billing.

Frankly

Whether McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, KKR, or Celonis – for the people in these companies, the job is rarely just a part of life; it is the center of it. People want to exchange insights: What do others in my role really earn? What is the culture like at the company I want to switch to? When is the right moment for an exit? Until now, honest answers have only existed in confidence, never on a real-name network. Ego and self-promotion, as seen on public career platforms, have run their course. The humble-bragging, recruiter spam, the filtered version of everything – the bubble has had enough of it. What remains is the desire for real, honest exchange. Which hasn’t existed anywhere until now. Frankly is changing that: the anonymous, verified network for the bubble in the DACH region. Every company has its own anonymous hallway, every topic its own room – Salary & Bonus, Exit & Career, Culture & Red Flags. Anonymous so you can be honest. Verified so you can trust the answers. And every person is personally vetted before getting in. The app is ready and submitted; the launch is imminent. We are preparing a pre-seed round and speaking with angels and early-stage investors from the DACH region – for this, we welcome any connection in the Munich scene who knows the bubble.

Syn2core

The next generation of autonomous robots will be defined by data. Just as LLMs were trained on internet-scale text, embodied AI will require enormous amounts of real-world demonstrations to learn how humans interact with tools, parts, and complex manufacturing processes. At Syn2core, we’re building exactly that foundation. By capturing multimodal, egocentric data from factory workers at scale, we’re creating one of the richest datasets for industrial robot learning — unlocking the future of autonomous manufacturing.

Air2Growth

Air2Growth is developing an innovative system that converts CO2 emissions directly on-site into high-quality organic fertilizer. Using advanced microalgae technology, we create a closed circular economy that enables more sustainable, independent, and economical agriculture. Our solution specifically targets greenhouse operators as well as modern agricultural businesses. By directly utilizing exhaust gases and CO2 sources, our customers not only actively lower their environmental footprint, but also noticeably reduce their ongoing fertilizer costs at the same time. In times of fluctuating market prices and uncertain supply chains, Air2Growth makes businesses independent of fossil raw materials and synthetic imports. In this way, we combine effective climate protection with concrete economic benefits and strengthen the future viability of regional food production.

Kertos

Kertos is a European compliance platform that gets companies certified and keeps them continuously compliant across the frameworks and regulations that matter in Europe, including ISO 27001, ISO 42001, GDPR, NIS2, the EU AI Act, SOC 2, TISAX, and C5.

Designed around European law, Kertos is a natural fit for scaleups and mid-sized companies that want both the platform and the expertise from one provider.

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.

Sovaro develops a B2B SaaS platform for small and mid-sized companies that centrally manages IT assets, SaaS licenses, and on-/offboarding processes. Many growing companies quickly lose track of which devices are in use, which software is actually being used, and which access or licenses remain open after employee changes. Sovaro makes this information visible, identifies unused software licenses, and translates them into concrete workflows for IT, HR, and Finance. This allows companies to reduce SaaS costs, cut operational work, and properly document on-/offboarding – without their own IT department or complex enterprise software. The initial focus is on IT asset management, SaaS management, and employee lifecycle workflows for DACH companies with 20 to 250 employees.
