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.

Invoice Converter

Invoice Converter

Invoice-Converter.com is a Munich-based software service that turns ordinary PDF invoices into standards-compliant electronic invoices. Users upload a PDF, review the automatically extracted invoice data, and download a validated e-invoice in XRechnung, UBL or ZUGFeRD format, typically in about 30 seconds. The output follows the European EN 16931 standard, the basis for the e-invoicing obligation in Germany and other EU countries. The service is built for companies that want to meet these requirements without replacing their existing ERP, accounting or billing software. Typical users are small and medium-sized businesses, freelancers, agencies and accounting teams that receive or send invoices as PDFs and now need a machine-readable, legally valid format for public-sector and business customers.

Settlio

Settlio

Settlio is a planning tool for moving to Germany. Relocation rarely fails due to a lack of information, but rather because of the sequence: without landlord confirmation (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung) there is no address registration (Anmeldung), without registration no tax ID, and without a tax ID, the wrong tax bracket ends up on the first paycheck. Settlio therefore does not map the relocation as a checklist, but rather as a dependency graph. Users can see at any time which step is blocked, which one is ready, and which one is due next – personalized by nationality, destination city, and residence permit: EU Blue Card, skilled workers under Section 18a/b, Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte), studies, freelance work under Section 21, and family reunification. Each step is given a best-case, an expected, and a delayed date. For twelve high-demand countries of origin, real waiting times at German diplomatic missions are factored into the forecast. Currently covered are Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, and Cologne – each with the relevant local authority, such as the KVR in Munich. The target group includes international skilled workers, students, and families moving to Germany, as well as their employers.
