These startups were funded by IFB in February 2024
IFB Innovationsstarter GmbH included three startups into three of its funding programs in February 2024. In this article, we summarise the ideas that have been decisive for Dutie, VOLU and Buildlinx.
Dutie
The startup Dutie received funding from the InnoFounder program. Founded in 2023, the company is developing an app for the security industry. The aim is to make it easier to organise and process orders and plan the deployment of employees. The digital offering includes map views of objects to be protected and a calendar function for optimal shift planning. Dutie promises its customers greater staff satisfaction and increased efficiency in order fulfillment.
VOLU
Millions of people are already involved in voluntary work, making an important contribution to society. The startup VOLU would like to see even more of them and for their commitment an increased appreciation. The VOLU.Card, which offers a range of benefits at partner companies, such as discounts or preferential access to events, is designed to achieve this. The concept secured VOLU a place in the new InnoImpact program for social entrepreneurship.
Buildlinx
When it comes to meeting climate targets, the building sector plays a crucial role. The potential for savings in energy consumption, combined with reduced CO2 emissions, is particularly high here. At the same time, there is still a lot of catching up to do. This is where the startup Buildlinx comes in, with its software that detects energy waste in buildings and promises savings of up to 40%. This is made possible by a modular system that allows a holistic approach. Buildlinx has thus secured a place in the InnoRampUp program.
