5-Euro-Business online finale: Instrument brokerage platform takes first place

A total of 21 students presented their business ideas to the audience at the online graduation event on 13 January. First place went to "Share Music GbR", followed by "WoSind GbR" and "InvisibleWarm GbR". The team at the top of the digital winners' podium received 800 euros, the runners-up were happy about 600 euros, and third place was endowed with 400 euros.

The team  „Share Music GbR“ scored points with the jury with its sophisticated business report as well as with its convincing company presentation and thus secured first place. For the three students Nicolas Käufl, Julian Klinger and Marcus Wild, sharing their musical passion is their top priority: With their platform, they want to connect music enthusiasts with people who want to rent out their unused musical instruments for a certain period of time.

Second place was won by the team  „WoSind GbR“ with their online-based tool rental for home projects. The intended target group is people who would like to test their manual skills in a cheap and uncomplicated way. Jonas Jehle, Catalin Ciprian Cosneac, Marco Daum and Kilian Mack plan to build up a regional community in the future that not only rents out tools but also exchanges information about projects.

Third place went to the team "Invisible Warm GbR": In their business idea, Jasmin Schmoll, Jennifer Filippi and Raphael Peters are developing a reusable heat pad to insert into pants to relieve the pain of bladder infections. The three students want to give many women who are chronically affected by cystitis a practical solution with their heat pads so that they can take part in everyday life despite the inflammation and don't have to be tied to bed with the good old hot water bottle.
