He is originally from Barcelona, where he studied Mathematics and Engineering as a double major. He than went on to the Swiss Federal Institute (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne).

The startup helps surgeons to prepare for important operations with 3D printed models or virtual reality. They even help to 3d print assistance tools to help the surgeons with their job. They are currently helping surgeons with the preparation of reconstructive surgeries, like the reconstruction of faces after car accidents. For research projects, they are 3d printing what they call “surgical guides”. For example, these guides help to guide the drill of the surgeon to drill at the right point and depth during surgery. We are focusing on models for pre-operation. Our models will right now not end up in the patient, but we have a research project for that. Pablo Garcia-Amorena, CEO and Co-Founder Mirrakoi Venture Capital FundingMirrakoi is currently bootstrapped but will soon be looking for an external investor. Health Venture Labs (Budapest)In this small section we talk to the accelerator program Health Venture Labs (HV Labs), and its co-founder Daniel Szemerey (https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-szemerey/). HV Labs is the program Mirrakoi went through. If you are curious, they are looking for startups for their next intake: https://hvlab.eu/. As stated in the interview, they have a preference for medical imaging startups. Part of their program is also a chance to dip in the Boston medtech startup hub.

Heinz Luckardt, Co-Founder KONVOI Don’t Miss Any Blog Post, Video, or Audio PodcastSubscribe to our newsletter on Substack here: https://startupradio.substack.com/subscribe … there is organized crime stealing from parked trucks. … We want to be preventive, before the theft happens. Heinz Luckardt, Co-Founder KONVOI Media PartnershipThis podcast is in media partnership with the Hamburg-based startup blog Hamburg Startups (https://www.hamburg-startups.net/). They keep you up to date on the local startup scene in Hamburg, they organize regular events (in normal non corona times) AND they do have a special section on food startups as well. Even if you are not able to speak German, a visit with an auto translate is worth it, since they also have an extensive directory of local startups on their website. Our solution will be a combination of hardware and software. Heinz Luckardt, Co-Founder KONVOI The FounderIn this interview, we talk to Heinz Luckardt (https://www.linkedin.com/in/heinz-luckhardt-a77a351a0/), Co-Founder of Hamburg-based startup KONVOI. He is originally from Frankfurt, but his studies took him to Hamburg University, where he met his co-founder. But Heinz has already traveled the world, he studied in Milano (Italy), he has been a sales intern in India, as well as working with Fraunhofer Institute. At Fraunhofer, he was working on salt-based 3d printing. The vision is later to go deep into predictive analytics, like generating heatmaps for truck thefts.

After university he started out working in consulting and found his passion in alternative investments. He started as analyst of private equity funds, moving to a venture developer position. Before joining Iconiq Lab, he has been a startup investor himself. I am not the guy who said in 2014 Bitcoin is the thing. Maximilian Lautenschläger, COO and Co-Founder Iconic Holding The StartupIconic Holding is the parent company of Iconic Funds. Iconic Holding originally started out as Iconiq Lab, an accelerator for ICOs, based in Frankfurt. After the end of the ICO craze, they decided what to do next and so they evolved into a crypto asset manager and Blockchain VC. The new structure was renamed to Iconic Holding (no more q). The crypto asset manager is called Iconic Funds (https://funds.iconicholding.com/invest/) and the blockchain venture capital arm is called Iconic Lab (https://lab.iconicholding.com/, https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/iconiq-lab). You can find their blog on Medium here (https://iconicholding.medium.com/).

Startuprad.io - The Authority on German, Swiss and Austrian Startups and Venture Capital
My Football Space Connects Fans with Clubs GloballyAfter almost 20 years in consulting … it was a good time to think about what I wanted to do in my life, what I have a passion for. Alex Schlicher, Founder My Football Space Media PartnershipThis podcast is in media partnership with the FinTech Forum (http://www.fintechforum.de/). The FinTech Forum - launched 2013 in Frankfurt am Main - is the first and largest hub for FinTechs in Continental Europe, with a community of more than 12.000 companies. With more than 17 events, with more than 270 startups on stage, and more than 1.000 investors and financial institutions. FTF alumni have raised $310mn+ in funding and resulted in exits worth $300mn+ . I was not really looking for founding a company. The idea came to me since I am passionate about innovative technology, finance and sports. Alex Schlicher, Founder My Football Space The FounderIn this interview, we are talking to Alex Schlicher, a former management consultant, turned entrepreneur (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-schlicher-cfa-953660/). Alex started out with vocational training in retail banking, foreign exchange trader, and a management consultant in capital markets, where he worked for several consultancies. While he worked in FX trading (Foreign Exchange), he learned how derivatives are working and are structured. He is a born “Frankfurter Bub” (a native Frankfurt boy). In his past, he was also in charge of building up the German business for a London-based consultancy. After almost 20 years in consulting, he decided to do a re-set and spent some more time with his family. Alex has been passionate about sports all his life and is a fan of Frankfurt-based Bundesliga Club Eintracht Frankfurt. Alex currently pursues an executive MBA at Frankfurt School for Management and Finance, in one of these classes the idea of My Football Space “hit him” as he said. The initial trigger for setting up a company was really driven by technology, because I saw the potential of the technology. Alex Schlicher, Founder My Football Space The Startup Alex founded the sports tech startup My Football Space (https://myfs.de/). He got the idea for his startup while one of his professors talked about everything of value is on the Blockchain in the future. So it instantly struck him this may include football in one way or another. Initially, they thought about investing in football players, but changed this amazingly fast, since it was too much like an investment. They do not want to change the memberships of the sports clubs, as they are popular for example in Germany with Bundesliga. This is not available to many people all over the world, this is what they want to change. This is something everybody shares, the passion, the emotion for the sport. It is a very global thing. There is no difference between a fan in Australia, Asia, the US, or Europe. Alex Schlicher, Founder My Football Space The Bundesliga Club Bayern München has globally more than 100 million fans, according to Alex. On the other side of those fans there is only a fraction really a member of the sports club (300.000). The app also helps the club to understand its digital fans and give them matching offers. My Football Space AppTheir app for membership for fans will be available in app stores like Google or Apple towards End of 2021. Venture Capital FundingThe company already closed two financing rounds, one by business angels and one by the management team. Currently, they are looking to close the next funding round in 2021 Q2 or Q3. Blockchain is really stepping out of its baby shoes. The maturity level is really reaching a tipping point where mass adoption in a lot of industries is about to start.

Jannis Dust, CMO and Co-Founder epap.app The FounderJannis (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jannisdust/, https://twitter.com/jannisdust, ) is in his early 20s, but already the co-founder of Hannover, Germany based fintech Epap (https://epap.app/). Originally Jannis was working on a freelance basis for eCommerce startups, but in 2018 he met his co-founders during a startup event.

None-the-less epap.app (https://epap.app/) wants to digitize recipes. In Germany, the tax regulations were changed at the start of 2020. This is called “the obligation to print receipts”. So for each transaction in a store or shop, the merchant needs to provide a receipt, mostly paper-based. This leads to a lot of waste and searching if one needs to find an important receipt in order to claim the warranty.

(+)plural makes Children Books for Blind and Visually Impaired Children AffordableBlind and visually impaired children learn Braille [writing for blind] only in school, so we had to re-think children books for blind and visually impaired Christina Oskui, Co-Founder PlusPlural Media PartnershipThis interview is in media partnership with the CONTENTshif accelerator program (https://www.contentshift.de/en/accelerator/programme/for-startups/), which we follow since its inception. CONTENTshift is the accelerator program of the German Book Publishers and Printers Association. Below you will find more interviews from past batches. We used to record the interviews directly at Frankfurt Book Fair, but since it is canceled this year due to Corona, we resorted to remote only interviews. At the time of the recording, we did not know who won the final award. The winner of this year’s batch is SciFlow (https://www.contentshift.de/en/contentshift/news/congratulations-to-sciflow/). We will publish the exclusive interview with them as the last of our series this year. Three things remain with us from paradise: stars, flowers, and children. Dante Alighieri The FounderThis time we speak to the co-founder of (+)plural (spoken plus plural http://www.plusplural.de/) Christina Oskui (https://www.linkedin.com/in/christina-oskui-825b8615a/, https://www.contentshift.de/en/accelerator/participants-2020/christina-oskui/). Christina wrote her first children’s book about an hedgehog, who lost his spikes, finance with a crowdfunding campaign on StartNext (https://www.startnext.com/en/kinderbuch-igel). During the writing she also designed plush figures to go along with the book (owl, rabbit, duck), but she could not find any publisher who wanted to publish the books together with the stuffed animals. During this time she also realized that books for blind and visually impaired children are extremely expensive, due to the high amount of manual labor going into each book. Also, books catering to sighted and blind children at the same time are not available. So she aims with her social startup (+)plural and modern production techniques to change that and make affordable books for all children. There have been no books that blind and non-blind people can read at the same time. Christina Oskui, Co-Founder PlusPlural Affiliate LinksIs your startup in need of a bank account in Germany?

Paulo Coelho The StartupBlind children learn Braille writing only in school, so many children have a very small choice of books they can enjoy. The high price comes from a large amount of manual labor going into these books (gluing, stitching, stapling of different textures, textiles, and pieces to the book). A friend of hers has a blind child who only likes part of one of its books. (+)plural (http://www.plusplural.de/) combines 3d printing, modern manufacturing, and picture books to make affordable picture books for blind and sighted children. The books include stuffed animals, as well as 3d printed parts. (+)plural is a social enterprise.

Frederic Geiger, Founder and CEO Questlog The FounderFrederic Geiger (https://www.linkedin.com/in/frederic-geiger-0a951b89/ ) is the founder and CEO of Questlog (https://questlog.eu/?lang=en), one of the finalists in the 2020 batch of the CONTENTshif accelerator program (https://www.contentshift.de/en/accelerator/programme/for-startups/). Frederic set up Questlog, after graduating with a master's degree from Technical University Munich, which also took him to Taiwan (https://www.ntu.edu.tw/) and UC Berkley (https://www.berkeley.edu/). Originally Frederic studied management technology, with a focus on entrepreneurship. The EU program Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs (https://www.erasmus-entrepreneurs.eu/) took him to Sweden. Many people collect small things on their travels. They see it as really precious things. … My idea was to combine these two things.

Frederic Geiger, Founder and CEO Questlog The StartupQuestlog is a wooden box, with the shape of a country on the outside (https://questlog.eu/). You can keep all the memories from a trip inside like entrance tickets, little collectibles and so on. You can also hang the wooden boxes on the wall and display them. Every time you take them in your hand again you associate memories with the items. The box is also a great place to keep memories. The startup also runs individualized mass production. The wooden box is always the same and the map is printed on it at the client request. The startup also keeps a small stack of frequent tourist destinations on their inventory. All other boxes are stored without a map. My dream would be a configurator on my website, where the customers could design their product and get it shipped to them. Frederic Geiger, Founder and CEO Questlog Future plansThe company is currently only selling in Germany and is looking for a partner to expand. In the next step, you can also contribute digital content to the box, which will be financed by a crowdfunding campaign in 2021, likely Q2. It is likely that the campaign will gather supporters from North America, and this should be the start of international expansion. Right now, they are completely bootstrapped and intend to stay that way. Right now, I am only selling in Germany. We are in the process of re-designing the product for an easier production.

Emporion Innovations helps startups and corporates with anonymized testing of product ideas Many startups want to solve a whole array of problems with their product, but in the start, they are just solving a small aspect. Alexander Kuchta, CEO and Co-Founder Emporion Innovation The FounderAlexander Kuchta is the co-founder and CEO of Emporion Innovations (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexander-kuchta/), a small boutique agency in the Rhine-Main area (https://emporion.technology/). Alex is an economist by training, who started first with the idea of an online flee market like craigslist. This did not work, but he started working with his co-founder. Instead of going with their MVP to an investor, they instead decided to set up a digital agency, what they now call a digital product studio.

NAIX redacts Contracts with AI for companies in M&A Transactions “Companies tended to accept the [GDPR] fines since they are not as high as the costs of the manual redaction of data, but now we are here” Ramin Karbalaie, CEO and Founder NAIX Technology Media PartnershipNAIX Technology is Frankfurt Forward's (https://www.frankfurtforward.com/) Startup of the Month September 2020. Congratulations. As part of our media partnership, we are bringing you the interview with its astrophysicist CEO and Founder Ramin. The FounderIn this interview, we are talking to Ramin Karbalaie (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramin-karbalaie-b9022a185/), CEO, and Co-Founder of Frankfurt and Cologne-based NAIX Technology (https://naix.de/en). The AI startup and legal tech help do anonymize documents for large companies and corporations, e.g. in case they need to be put in a data room. More on this later. Ramin is highly gifted, he started to study astrophysics at university already during high school (in Germany highly gifted student can do that) and finished several semesters worth of course work before graduating from high school. His mother is a linguist and so he was early exposed to linguistics, which sparked his interest in computer linguistic and later natural language processing (NLP). This is where the legal part, the ai, the natural language processing, and the quantitative training come together to form NAIX Technologies. The startup counts among its mentors one of the managing directors of the private investment office of Rothschild & Co. “When I was studying astrophysics I had to work, so I took any job. I used to work as a working student in a big international law firm. … There I talk to lawyers about their pains. … so, things evolved” Ramin Karbalaie, CEO and Founder NAIX Technology PatreonLearn about our interviews before they are released, help in the selection of the startups we interview, or even suggest startups to be interviewed, by becoming a Patron https://buff.ly/35qoRGq DueDashDueDash is a Social Network, for startups and investors.

The German Bill to Permit Crypto SecuritiesIn terms of large countries, Germany is a fast mover in blockchain legislation Philipp Sandner, Blockchain Expert Labor Day SpecialSince the USA are one of our biggest markets we publish some specials on federal holidays. This is one of those occasions. Despite this we stick to our publication of Video on Thursday and podcast the following night, so you all have the content on your devices the next morning. Our GuestCurrently, there is a piece of legislation in the law-making process, to permit securities issued on the blockchain in Germany. Due to this step, we talk to Philipp Sandner (https://www.linkedin.com/in/philippsandner/), a blockchain expert, Professor of Frankfurt School of Management and Finance, Head of the Frankfurt School Blockchain Center, Member Fintech Council (FinTechRat) of the German Federal Ministry of Finance, and member of several expert groups on the blockchain. The Bill to become Germany's Crypto Securities LawWe are talking about a bill to revolutionize the German capital market since you could move existing securities on the blockchain, as well as emit securities completely without "paper" on the blockchain. The new system is designed so that also startups also could run blockchains for crypto securities. You can find the proposed bill in German here: https://www.bundesfinanzministerium.de/Content/DE/Gesetzestexte/Gesetze_Gesetzesvorhaben/Abteilungen/Abteilung_VII/19_Legislaturperiode/2020-08-11-einfuehrung-elektronische-wertpapiere/0-Gesetz.html The US is lagging behind in terms of legislation, but they have some great startups in terms of crypto trading and crypto securities.

The small country of LiechtensteinLiechtenstein, a country of fewer than 50.000 people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liechtenstein), nestled in the Alps between Austria and Switzerland. The whole country of Liechtenstein is just 2.7 times larger than the Island of Manhattan (http://www.comparea.org/LIE+r2552485#:~:text=Liechtenstein%20is%202.7%20times%20larger%20than%20Manhattan%20(NYC%20borough).&text=Liechtenstein%20is%202.7%20times%20larger%20than%20Manhattan%20(NYC%20borough)). The capital Vaduz has a population of fewer than 6.000 people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaduz), but you should not underestimate them. Liechtenstein is leading in Europe in Crypto-LegislationPhilipp takes a few minutes in our interview to bring the point home, but Liechtenstein and Switzerland are leading in Europe in Crypto Legislation, followed by countries from Baltic states. Not far behind in Germany with the bill we discuss. For further reference, here is the Liechtenstein Token Act: https://impuls-liechtenstein.li/en/blockchain-act-liechtenstein/ Future SituationThe law will likely come into force in January 2021. There are small changes to be expected, but the law should pass mostly in the current form, according to observers. This will allow for the conversion of normal securities, we assume bonds in the interview, can be converted in crypto securities early next year. Also, the issuance of crypto securities can happen early next year. We are excited about the opportunity. EU PerspectiveIn September 2020 the European Commission is trying to catch up in digital services. There are multiple proposals and strategies on the European Level coming up. Out of those Philipp names seven landmark proposals from the European Commission this September. There are seven landmark proposals coming from the European Commission in September 2020.

Tom Plümmer CEO and Co-Founder Wingcopter The Startup Wingcopter is a vertical take-off drone. It is not a multicopter, with four to eight rotors, but it combines vertical takeoff capabilities with wings for long ranges. The drone the ability to navigate and can (depending on the regulation) be piloted beyond the visual line of sight in some countries. I am not an engineer. That’s why it is a little bit crazy that I ended up in this position, running now a company with really really capable engineers. Tom Plümmer CEO and Co-Founder Wingcopter Wingcopter holds a patent for its tilt-rotor drones. The "tilt-rotor" is the USP of Wingcopter and enables the impressive capabilities of the small aircraft to deliver (mostly medical) goods far, fast, and safe. In the beginning, they received a lot of requests for the military use of their drones, which they always denied. On the other hand, they are working with DHL and UPS, as well as delivery of medical products (especially vaccines) with UNICEF. They work to deliver time-sensitive medical supplies already in projects in Vanuatu (Pacific Island), Scotland, Ireland, Malawi, Ethiopia, or Tanzania. Cooperation in Germany with MerckIn Germany they are also working with Merck, transferring laboratory samples. In the past, they have been a startup in one of the batches of the Merck Accelerator Program. You can learn more about the program here.
