IFB Innovationsstarter GmbH has been busy again in September 2023 and has added four more startups to its funding programs. In this post, we briefly introduce enytime.green, Findus Factory, SupplyET and GlucoFit.
enytime.green
Three startups have received funding from the InnoFounder program, the first of which is enytime.green. This young Hamburg-based company is developing an app that tells its users when the electricity they need to recharge is particularly cheap. enytime.green does not appear under its own name, but offers the app as a white-label solution for municipal utilities and energy providers. Behind the startup is an experienced founding team; for example, CEO Ulrich Meyer worked for the green energy provider LichtBlick for a good 17 years.
Findus Factory
CNC machines - the abbreviation stands for Computerized Numerical Control - are machine tools that can produce even complex objects with high precision. They also work without requiring a lot of manpower, a strong argument in times of increasing shortage of skilled workers. The Findus Factory builds robots that can be used on such machines without a digital interface, thus pushing automation even further. Here, too, the founding team brings a lot of experience from industrial management and production engineering, among other things.
SupplyET
SupplyET develops software to address today's supply chain planning challenges. The startup aims to enable its customers to use the available resources in their production and logistics networks more efficiently, respond more flexibly to changes in demand and supply their customers more reliably. This is expected to optimise costs, revenues and emissions, and thus create competitive advantages. Currently, the founders are looking for partner companies to participate in the development of the software called PF Engine.
GlucoFit
The health startup GlucoFit benefits from funding through the InnoRampUp program. Diabetes is a widespread disease with over seven million people affected in Germany alone. Inka Benthin suffers from type 1 herself and therefore knows how tedious it can be to organize everyday life and control nutrition. To make things easier, the physicist is working with former management consultant Dr. Matthias Ohlinger to develop an app that supports individualised therapy for diabetes patients.
