πŸŽ™οΈ New Podcast Drop: Founders Fight Club Cast x REHAU New Ventures

After a long break, the FoundersFight.Club Cast is back - tackling a topic that couldn't be more relevant: #democracy, #resilience, and the role of #entrepreneurship and culture in #shaping the future.

Hosted by our CEO Nils Wagner, this special episode was recorded at the Rebuild Ukraine #Hackathon finals, bringing together two inspiring voices:

🎡 Rüdiger "Rüde" Linhof (Sportfreunde Stiller, Kulturkonvoi) on how art is not just expression - it is #resistance.

πŸ—οΈ Bernd Oswald (Co-Founder, GROPYUS) on how entrepreneurship is not charity - it is infrastructure for #recovery.

This episode is about taking action when stability is not a given. It’s about refusing to wait and instead #building, #creating, and #taking #responsibility. #Democracy enables us to #innovate, but are we willing to do the work to sustain and defend it?

🎧 Listen in, be inspired, and join the conversation. Link in the comments ✏️

πŸš€ Reshaping self-storage: CoStore makes storage space simple, flexible and digital.

Innovation does not always mean groundbreaking technology - radical #simplification is often enough. This is exactly what our venture CoStore proves.

🎯 The idea: fully #automated container #self-#storage parks - storage space as easy as car sharing.

πŸ“¦ The approach:
- #Shipping #containers instead of expensive buildings - flexible and quickly scalable.
- Fully #digital - 24/7 access, automated booking, no staff on site.
- Parks are created in just a few months.

πŸ’‘ Potential recognized: CoStore was founded in 2024 and gained real estate expert Oliver Gilbert as a shareholder in June.

πŸ“ˆ The #goal: 40-50 parks in Germany - including data-driven expansion.

πŸ“– Read more about the exciting story of founder Jannes Koepcke in the LogReal World GmbH article. Many thanks to Thomas Pool for the great editorial in Log-Real.Direkt!

πŸ“© Interested? Get in touch with Jannes Koepcke or Marcel Philipp Lang - the future of the self-storage market starts here.

🌟 RecyClaim at #BAU 2025 - innovation meets #circular #economy! 🌟

At REHAU New Ventures, we are proud to be shaping the future of the #construction and #recycling industry together.

πŸš€ Congratulations to RecyClaim!
With exciting appearances such as the #FoundersFightNight, an inspiring #keynote and a #panel talk, the team impressively demonstrated how we all can revolutionize #waste management together.

Together with strong #partners such as Elise Bernhard and SΓΆren Schmidt, RecyClaim will develop a tool that enables informed decisions - for a #circular, sustainable future in the construction industry.

πŸ’‘ Why is this so important?
Construction and recycling companies face the same challenge: making better use of #resources and #reducing emissions. Together, we create solutions that offer real added value - economically and ecologically.

🌱 Thanks to our team and our partners!
We are proud of the achievements of Martin Schade and Ruslan V. and would like to thank Berlin Recycling GmbH for taking this journey with them.
