“Just wrapped up an electrifying two-day event at the Frankfurt School Entrepreneurship Centre, and the buzz is still in the air! Our aim was to fan the flames of innovation, steering eager minds from mere ideas to standout pitch decks.
We witnessed the birth of 26 ideas, from which the cream of the crop – the top six – were selected through a democratic voting process. These ideas then evolved into pitch decks, thanks to the collaborative efforts of the newly formed teams. The event reached its climax with a gripping final pitch contest. Our committed jurors, Jan Poblocki, Isabell Schastok, Valérie Soulier, Maria Pennanen & Gowtham Athem 🌱🚀 awarded the top honours to the visionary team behind SEDA – an app dedicated to helping individuals suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS).
Congratulations to the team Dr. Liubov Amusina and her team who have won an extended workshop about personality types with Mindclip®.
Looking ahead, we’re charged up about the potential ripple effect of this event. We’re calling on participants to join the FS Incubator, where they’ll receive the tools and guidance to refine their ventures into investment-ready businesses.
A heartfelt shoutout to RWTH Aachen University and hessian.AI for bringing amazing Tech-Talent to Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, to Futury Capital Futury for the support and Kristina Savina, William Hongach, Francesca “Cheska” Picache, Elias Goldbach for the organisation.”
-Ram Shoham

“On February 12th, the Frankfurt School Entrepreneurship Centre showcased our third Demo Day where we attracted a crowd of over 500 people consisting of investors and entrepreneurial minds. The startups did an outstanding job!
Congratulation to Posto (The social media in service of REAL LIFE) for clinching the top prize of EUR 30.000. The rationale behind the jury’s decision was a committed team, tackling a massive market with a massive problem.
Runner up was mylingua (the personalized language assistant), with a EUR 20.000 cheque.
The crowd’s favourite was Yumoso, which turns car parks into energy sources. Come to our campus where Frankfurt School of Finance & Management already installed a few of them.
All in all, it was a terrific night. Our hard work paid off and I want to thank everyone that made it special.”

The difference between 1st (Onni Care) and 2nd (BeeSage) place was a mere 0.3 points apart. Congratulations to all the participants, especially the winning team: Anne C.

About this past event:
A big congratulations to all the startups, especially the prize winners Aybee and runner-up Newbee App. Also a heartfelt thank you to all the investors.

Last Monday’s demo day drew over 400 attendees, including a keynote speech from Dr. Prof. Helmut Schoenenberger. Helmut has been one of my personal inspirations since I first arrived in Germany twelve years ago, and I always knew that one day, he would know my name. That day has finally come. A huge thank you to Helmut and his team for sharing your career journey with all of us at Frankfurt School of Finance & Management.

Here is a short recap on the standout teams:
Aybee: Builds the leading A/B testing platform for marketplaces, enabling the best product launches.
Promodoro: Innovates by placing tasteful advertising on pizza boxes, turning an everyday item into a unique marketing opportunity.
green account: Creates Europe’s premier nature trading platform, ensuring transparent, standardized, and secure investments in nature and biodiversity.
Ceres FieldCheck: Empowers small-scale farmers in developing countries with affordable AI robots, assisting in chemical-free weeding and disease detection.
Freeze Carbon: Develops a B2B online marketplace for high-quality carbon credits, promoting sustainable business practices.
Newbee App: Builds a unified platform for newcomers to discover their community and access assistant services in their native language.
