Business Overview
Founded with a solid foundation of personal equity, our company quickly made a name for itself by securing contracts with the five largest stationary retailers in the market within just two years. With a streamlined, focused product line—only one product in two designs—we achieved an impressive turnover of approximately EUR 100,000. This growth was possible due to our unwavering commitment to quality and our innovative approach to product design.
Track Record of Achievement and Recognition.
Our innovative drive has been recognized multiple times:
- Pioniergeist Start-Up and Ideas Competition: We were honoured with a prestigious award in recognition of our entrepreneurial spirit and innovative product ideas.
- Ergonomics Innovation Award: The Institute for Health and Ergonomics awarded us this distinction, acknowledging our commitment to ergonomic excellence and industry-leading product design.
A dual-focused business model with a strong B2B foundation.
Our business model targets both B2B and B2C channels, with 80% of revenue stemming from B2B partnerships. This focus has allowed us to establish strong and lasting relationships within the industry, positioning us as a reliable and respected partner among key players.
Investment opportunity: Scaling for market leadership.
To maintain our momentum and focus on daily operations while driving further growth, we are seeking a €500,000 investment. This capital will be dedicated to recruiting top industry talent in design and sales—key roles that will catalyze our expansion.
- Key talent acquisition: We have secured a verbal commitment from the current key account manager of the industry leader, a professional with a turnover record of EUR 8–12 million. He will join us in February next year, bringing invaluable market insights and a robust client network.
- Partnership with industry-leading designer: In August, we established a collaboration with the former head designer of two major competitors. Now a freelancer, he offers his experience and connections to accelerate our brand's growth and product refinement.
Strategic vision: path to top 3 market position.
In just two years, our brand has evolved into a respected name within the industry, even gaining the recognition and respect of competitors. With the right investment, we have a clear pathway to enter the top 3 brands in our segment, creating a powerful and mutually beneficial partnership for all involved stakeholders.
This investment opportunity represents a chance to join a rapidly growing company on the brink of significant expansion. By contributing to our vision, you can be a part of redefining the industry landscape and securing a leading position in the market.
