Why are you located in CUBEX, Mannheim?

We see CUBEX as a very well-developed ecosystem, consisting of hospitals and technological companies, led by fast and proactive managers.

How do you describe your corporate culture? And your team?

Our corporate culture puts the customer first and focuses on innovation to support customer requirements. This is realized by a very young team that is highly motivated and results oriented.

We have developed a very effective product to support wellness and health for people of all ages. So, we are proud of taking part in life sciences, supporting better lives.

What would you do differently in retrospect?

Cooperation with sales and marketing partners as well as with global accelerators at an earlier period would have given us a quicker and better potential customer and market coverage.

What advice do you give to other founders?

Even if the product of a startup is a software, it is not enough to have IT knowledge and background. Founders need to have a partner from the healthcare sector who knows the market in order to be successful. Another critical component is having a proactive team. It is absolutely worth the effort to build such a team.
