Tuesday witnessed the legendary Founder's Fight Night at #Boxwerk in Munich! It was an electrifying event with courageous #founders and a tough jury, set in a cool atmosphere.

Congratulations to 🚀Thilo Plikat, CTO from EuerZuhause for securing 2nd place and congratulations David Tejs Jørring on your very close, but absolutely well-deserved victory! 🥇

Highly recommended for startup enthusiasts or those seeking to challenge their ideas. Six #insurtech #startup #founders delivered captivating pitches, resembling performances filled with passion and energy. This unique event featured founders battling it out in a real boxing ring, engaging the audience in voting for the winning startup. Each showcased a vision for the future of Insurtech, demonstrating drive and determination to shape the industry.

Kudos to FoundersFight.Club - Jan C. Küster, Plug and Play Tech Center and ROHDE BAIER Rechtsanwälte and Nick Trachte and team from Boxwerk for organizing this fantastic event! As well as the jury, which was really tough but not always cordial: Jessica Cheng, Thorsten Rohde, Mag. iur., Richard Luetzner, Luka Pintaric & Philipp Rehsmann. 😎 and last but not least: our 🏃‍♂️ roving #videographer Christian Hempfling - excited about the video, which is already in the making - stay tuned!

🌟 Back from #Las #Vegas! 🌟

Recently we kicked off our latest REHAU New Ventures start-up investment in CoStore on #LinkedIn. Now happy to see the two Co-Founders Marcel Philipp Lang and Jannes Koepcke being back from Inside Self-Storage 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗼 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝘀 𝗩𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘀!

What is the most promising to us is the gap which still exists between the US and Europe. In Europe there are only 𝟲,𝟵𝟮𝟵 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 (FEDESSA - Federation of European Self Storage Associations, 2023) registered whereas in the US we are facing more than 𝟱𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 (Sparefoot, 2023).

Additionally, there is a significant surge in the adoption of mobile storage facilities, like container storage units. This trend is driven by their capacity for rapid expansion across different sites, cost-effectiveness, adaptability, and reduced regulatory constraints concerning construction standards.

So really promising outlook!

Hello #San #Francisco, Hello Venture West 2024 Conference from BuiltWorlds!

Last week, Simon Ryschka, responsible for our New Ventures business in the US got a chance to visit Venture West 2024 together with our CEO Nils Wagner.

The most relevant takeaways? Here we go!

🕡 As the #Construction #Tech Vertical matures, we now observe companies and early investors seeking for an "exit strategy." They are searching for strategic or private equity buyers capable of elevating solutions to the next level in terms of market access, scale, and technological advancement. What does this mean for corporations? Well, they must identify the appropriate champions within their organization to lead discussions from a strategic standpoint and raise awareness for the startup within their organization.

🌏 Navigating towards Net-Zero in the Built environment: Enhancing sustainability within the built environment remains a vast realm of opportunity for startups and innovators across hardware and software domains.

💰 Corporate venture capital (CVC) arms wield a unique power in today's Construction Tech landscape, offering startups an edge through their deep industry knowledge and connections. It's reassuring to recognize the pivotal role CVCs can play in startup triumphs. To foster mutually beneficial outcomes for investors and founders alike, CVCs should retain observer status and a stake that permits subsequent funding rounds from other venture capitalists or strategic backers. With a strategic approach, corporate innovation, corporate venturing, and construction technology can flourish harmoniously.

Great conference, talks and most important: Diving into this mature ConTech community with well estabslished rules and networks.
