In July 2025, IFB Innovationsstarter GmbH once again included five startups in its funding programmes. We briefly introduce Ackerperlen, Presada, Bettersoon, Fairfield & Archer and inVenture Capital in this article.
Ackerperlen
A new addition to the InnoImpact programme is the registered association Ackerperlen, which is dedicated to climate and nature conservation as well as environmental education. Permaculture, a movement that, according to the Ackerperlen website, creates sustainable, economically and ecologically stable systems in which people, animals and plants support and enrich each other, is central. A mobile research station brings environmental knowledge to daycare centres and schools by cargo bike and the workshops on a farm are aimed at children and adults alike.
Presada
Presada is now receiving funding from the InnoFounder programme. This startup uses artificial intelligence (AI) to improve presentations. The AI provides individual feedback on language, body language, texts and graphics and makes suggestions for optimisation. In this way, every form of communication in companies can be coached: from conveying information in meetings and addressing the staff of a department to sales pitches.
Bettersoon
Bettersoon is now also one of the InnoFounder teams. It offers a digital platform that provides an initial, non-binding assessment of the symptoms of pet illnesses. This creates a data-based, medically validated basis for decision-making that provides pet owners with quick guidance, optimises processes and takes the pressure off practice teams. The app designed for this purpose is not yet available, but a newsletter will keep interested parties up to date.
Fairfield & Archer
Fairfield & Archer is a startup that has made it into the InnoFinTech programme. It aims to make companies' work easier when it comes to compliance, the adherence to rules and laws. The software automatically analyses legal standards, supports company-specific relevance checks and transfers them into structured, audit-proof workflows with clear responsibilities. This reduces manual effort and achieves greater transparency and security.
inVenture Capital
inVenture Capital is also receiving InnoFinTech funding. The startup gives private investors access to European venture capital funds. In this way, they can invest in startups that have great growth potential and are not yet listed on the stock exchange. Funds of funds with a broad diversification in terms of sectors and company phases are intended to keep the risk within limits. The minimum investment amount is 10,000 euros.
