Aktlas

Aktlas

Aktlas is the compliance platform for the EU AI Act, built for SMEs. Companies record their AI systems in a central inventory, classify the risk of each system according to the regulation’s requirements, and receive audit-ready documentation as a result: checklists, evidence, and PDF reports that stand up before management, clients, and auditors. Instead of reading 144 pages of regulations or purchasing consulting days, teams answer straightforward questions and receive specific, prioritized tasks. Our customers are small and medium-sized enterprises in the DACH region that are already using AI—from support chatbots to applicant screening—and want to fulfill their obligations under EU Regulation 2024/1689 without a dedicated compliance team. A free starter plan with two AI systems is available, with paid plans starting at €79 per month.

LADS TV

LADS TV

LADS TV is a decentralized digital out-of-home (DOOH) marketplace for Munich and Bavaria. Local advertisers browse real neighbourhood screens on a live map, book time slots, upload creative, and get timestamped proof of play — without media-buying desks or lengthy contracts. Screen owners — cafés, shops, clinics, and venues — list idle displays, keep full control over categories and availability, and earn when advertisers book. Instead of one distant billboard owned by a media conglomerate, LADS TV connects many independent windows where people already walk, wait, and shop. Built for hyperlocal reach: from Moosach across Munich into Bavaria. Advertisers get neighbourhood intent; owners turn unused screen time into steady income. Book a screen or monetize the one you already own at ladstv.app.

MoveDeal

MoveDeal

MoveDeal is a Munich-based marketplace for residential and commercial moves. Customers submit move details online — origin, destination, date and inventory. The platform prices the job or collects competing offers and connects the customer with verified moving companies that execute the work. MoveDeal is software infrastructure for the moving industry: not a fleet owner, but a marketplace that matches demand with local partners. For customers, that means clearer comparison and a simpler booking path. For moving companies, it means structured leads, bidding and scheduling in one product. MoveDeal operates from Munich and builds for the European moving market. Related services around a move, such as packing materials, are a product direction as the platform expands.

anima:machina

anima:machina

anima:machina develops an AI architecture that enables machines to maintain situational awareness in complex, dynamic scenarios. If a child cries in the kitchen while someone shouts and a glass shatters in the next room, a system needs to identify what matters most right now. anima evaluates such events in context, sets priorities, and continuously adapts its behavior to the overall situation. Our product is the software architecture. It is manufacturer-independent and can be integrated into various robotics and embodied AI systems. It is developed and tested on our own humanoid robotics demonstrator in Munich. Our customers are companies developing robots or other embodied AI systems that require an architecture uniting states, events, and goals—for instance, for safe human-machine interaction, autonomous decision-making, or the early detection of critical situations.
