Stocadro Logo

Stocadro

Stocadro digitalisiert die Lagerhaltung in der Baubranche. Der Fokus liegt aktuell auf dem Gerüstbau. Gerüstbauer haben keinen Überblick über ihr Lagerbestände und Materialbewegungen. Das führt zu Ineffizienzen in der Projektplanung und Fehlern bei Materiallieferungen auf Baustellen. Kern des Problems ist die Handhabung von Rücklieferung, die oft unsortiert von der Baustelle zurückkommen. Stocadro entwickelt ein neuartiges Verfahren, um diese Rücklieferung digital aufzunehmen und ermöglicht so den Einsatz von Lagerverwaltungssoftware (WMS) im Gerüstbau. Das Team besteht aus Dr. Johannes King (Business Development, Vertrieb) und Elliot Gorinas (Produkt, Tech).

144

Transform your social responsibility into long-term business goals that generate both social impact and a financial return on investment.

Integre

Integre is tokenizing valuable and meaningful ecosystems, our first target is art patronage, like the Web3 version of the Met Museum’s Apollo Circle. There is immense pride in being a patron, to show that one is an invested member of an important subject and plays a crucial role in its future development. Patrons can exchange using their tokens: NFTs as well as experiences outside of ownership: invitations to tours, opening receptions, meetings with the curator, access outside of public hours and vote on who should be the next director etc. We think Web3 will bring more people into the art ecosystem and help new patrons understand the true value of art. In the future, we aim expand to other ecosystems, for example, scientific research and philanthropists.


Spotliked

Spotliked is Germany's first UGC-Marketing platform for local marketing. The side-to-side app provides locals with a sustainable, modern and yet affordable advertising opportunity that was previously inaccessible to them. Business owners can sign up, choose their pricing model and post their deals. On the deal map, Instagram users see the deals in their area, and can choose them. On their account, they post their experience in return. Businesses are thus connected with new customers, get self-running social media content and more reach.
