Moonscale

Moonscale is the automation engine for sales demos and pitches. We close the “demo gap” by giving every visitor an interactive, personalized demo instantly – no forms, no waiting, no scheduling. Our AI avatars guide through the pitch deck, explain features, answer questions, and automatically qualify by ICP & intent. Everything runs 24/7, seamlessly integrated into CRM and sales workflows. The result: 2–3x more pipeline from the same traffic, 4x more demos conducted, and zero wasted meetings – because sales teams only talk to real buyers. Automation creates consistency. Avatars create connection.

MyAutoData (MAUD)

MyAutoData (MAUD) develops a new generation of mobility and AI platforms where drivers retain control over their own vehicle and mobility data. Through the MAUD Mobility Co-Pilot and the personal MAUD Data Vault, users can securely manage trips, driving behavior, vehicle costs, CO₂ emissions, service histories, and other mobility data, and selectively share it for personalized services. MAUD combines data protection, artificial intelligence, and data-based rewards into a new mobility model: Drivers benefit from safe and environmentally friendly driving through rewards, better offers, and data-based value – while companies, cities, insurers, and mobility providers can access voluntarily shared, high-quality mobility data. MAUD’s vision is a fair and transparent mobility data economy where mobility data is not controlled exclusively by corporations, but for the first time belongs to the driver themselves and can be used to their advantage. The underlying technology is “Patent Pending” with the USPTO and a legally validated innovation on the global market.

Nowtown UG (haftungsbeschränkt)

Anyone planning an event in a city, offering a workshop, or implementing a creative project usually faces the same chaos: You search for a venue on one platform, book service providers via social media, and try to reach participants through three other channels. There’s simply no central hub that connects these worlds. That’s exactly where we come in with Nowtown. We’re building the first truly all-in-one marketplace for urban experiences. Everything comes together with us: creators and businesses can flexibly rent extraordinary spaces, directly book the right local service providers (such as photographers or caterers), and publish their own events. Users find everything on Nowtown that makes their city come alive. We consolidate fragmented city life on one platform, strengthen the local economy, and finally make discovering and organizing events uncomplicated.

PageCompliance

Advertising in the healthcare market is a minefield: the Medicinal Products Advertising Act, over 2,500 EU health claims, ongoing case law. Until now, there were two options: hire a lawyer or fly blind. We’ve built the third way with PageCompliance: a SaaS tool that lets companies review websites, ad copy, and social media content themselves—in minutes instead of weeks. The AI flags critical wording and suggests alternatives. This creates content without having to be a specialist in advertising law, and only the truly tricky cases still go to a lawyer. That means: faster, more autonomous, fewer revisions. Human in the loop: the AI-powered SaaS tool filters first, humans decide. Guidance instead of flying blind.

Clarity Careers

Clarity Careers replaces gut feeling in recruiting with data-driven decisions. Our AI-powered platform connects European students and graduates with verified companies: not through CVs, but through structured profiles, behavior-based assessments, and personality analyses. Students gain a clear picture of their strengths and fitting career paths, companies find talent that truly matches their role and culture. This way, we reduce mis-hires, shorten time-to-hire, and make potential visible that traditional application processes overlook. Currently, several B2B pilot discussions are underway with companies in the EU, UK, and Switzerland.
