Startups & Ecosystem

Einfach Erna

Einfach Erna is a minimalist, AI-powered web app (progressive web app) for nutrition, activity, and personal well-being. Our target audience is health-conscious end consumers (B2C) who want to keep track of their eating habits and nutrients without hassle, but are fed up with cluttered apps, aggressive advertising, and manipulative push notifications. At the core lies the principle of “0% frills, 100% privacy”: meals can be logged within seconds via photo, text, or voice using connected AI. At the same time, we pursue a rigorous local-first architecture. Sensitive diary and health data remain encrypted on the user’s device and are not monetized centrally. Einfach Erna runs directly in the browser, eliminates app store constraints, and is already available in 22 languages, including Bavarian.

Meerraum

MEERRAUM emerged from the transformation of the way we work and live. Working from home, remote work, hybrid working models, rising rents, and the desire for more flexible office spaces present new challenges for both companies and individuals. Today, spaces need to be more versatile, adaptable, and efficient. This is precisely where MEERRAUM comes in. MEERRAUM develops, produces, and sells multifunctional furniture for the B2B sector as well as for private customers. Our products create flexible solutions that adapt to diverse requirements and situations. Whether in a home office, coworking spaces, established companies, startups, or flexible working environments – our furniture makes it possible to make optimal use of available space and combine different functions. The focus is on functionality, flexibility, and modern design. MEERRAUM aims to help rethink spaces and develop furniture that adapts to changing lifestyles and ways of working – not the other way around.

ONYVEN

ONYVEN is a Munich-based AI startup from the Technical University of Munich ecosystem. We build software for complex enterprise operations in logistics, supply chain, and industrial environments. Orchestra combines operational data, business rules, and constraint optimization to produce explainable plans for decisions such as freight dispatching. Sonata uses AI agents to handle repetitive workflows across emails, documents, spreadsheets, and enterprise systems. ONYVEN integrates with existing software, helping companies introduce automation step by step while employees retain control.

Quilva

The problem. Anyone who fails to report a defect promptly and verifiably during incoming goods inspection forfeits their warranty rights — Section 377 (2) of the German Commercial Code (HGB). In the event of a dispute, it is not what was inspected that counts, but what was documented. Smartphone photos in folders, Excel spreadsheets, and paper checklists rarely hold up in such cases. The solution. Quilva Inspect guides your inspectors through the inspection process on a smartphone or tablet. The delivery note code is scanned, the matching template opens, and the header data is imported — every field with a record of origin. When taking photos, the software recognizes the inspection regions previously defined by the quality manager on a reference part and highlights anomalies directly in the image. The final decision always rests with the inspector. Nameplates are photographed and confirmed instead of being typed out. The result. Based on the confirmed findings, the software calculates the overall verdict — Accepted, With Reservations, or Rejected — and enforces the details required for a reservation: reason, required action, deadline, and justification. If desired, a second person can sign off using the four-eyes principle. This produces a sealed PDF report featuring an advanced electronic seal and a trusted timestamp: the notice of defects for the supplier, the inspection report for your QA. Who it’s for. Quality teams at medium-sized mechanical and plant engineering companies with 50 to 500 employees who need reliable documentation — not another generic QM suite. Also for service reports and setup orders. Code and infrastructure in Germany. No cookies, no tracking on the website.

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.

hiyer

hiyer is the marketplace for recruitment consulting in Germany. Companies with job openings can find selected boutique recruiting agencies on the platform—specialized in their industry or function—and only pay upon a successful hire. In turn, recruiters receive search mandates without business development efforts and can place candidates who do not currently fit their own assignments. This transforms a market of thousands of small consultancies into a powerful network where every search finds the right recruiters—faster, more transparently, and with no upfront costs. Founded in Munich, launched: September 2026.

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.

Bridgly

Bridgly is the customizable learning management system (LMS) on autopilot: authentic, certified expert knowledge with assumption of liability, from AI to compliance. The days of having to choose between liability-safe, high-quality seminars and affordable, flexible e-learning are over. Bridgly makes the knowledge of hundreds of experts accessible on a single learning platform—up-to-date and accessible anytime, anywhere. Whether it’s legally vetted EU AI Act training for the entire workforce or executive communication training led by seasoned leaders: everything in one place, automatically managed and legally compliant. In a personalized interface, every employee can see at a glance which training sessions have already been successfully completed and which are still pending, accompanied by automated reminders and motivation.

p(doom)

p(doom) is an AGI research lab working towards lengthening the task horizon of current-generation models from days to weeks and months. Pretraining unlocked one direction to scale. As did self-play, RLHF and RLVR. We work on the scalable methods of the future: learning from real-world human behavior, continual improvement through deployment, architectures that carry memory forever.

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.

ANORA

ANORA is the AI Business OS for companies looking to scale content, marketing, and growth with artificial intelligence without losing control over brand, knowledge, and approvals. The platform connects briefings, brand DNA, corporate knowledge, assets, approvals, and performance signals within a unified system. Marketing teams use it to automate content, visuals, social media, SEO, and Google Ads. Instead of numerous isolated standalone tools, it creates traceable, brand-compliant workflows with human control over approvals, budgets, and publishing. ANORA is aimed at companies, brands, and marketing teams that want to establish repeatable AI operations and make their communications more efficient, consistent, and measurable.
