🚀 Our portfolio company akirolabs made a significant impact at the Procurement Summit 2024 in Hamburg! CEO Michael Pleuger captivated the audience with a powerful presentation that resonated deeply within the procurement community across the DACH region. His message was bold and clear: the traditional approach to category management is no longer fit for the demands of today’s fast-evolving market. For far too long, #strategicprocurement and #categorymanagement have clung to outdated standards, failing to keep pace with the dynamic shifts in the industry. But at akirolabs, they’re breaking the mold and challenging this decades-old status quo. 💡 Their #NextGen category management solution revolutionizes the process by integrating a proven methodological framework with strategic scenario modeling, all powered by advanced AI-driven augmentation. This isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a complete transformation that propels procurement into a forward-thinking, future-ready direction. Curious to see how akirolabs is pioneering the future of procurement?

Spotlight on cortecs: Simplifying Private LLM Deployment with AI Markus Tretzmüller and Alexander Steiner noticed a significant gap in the market when developing AI applications for customers. There were no suitable solutions for running Large Language Models (LLMs) on privately hosted European servers. Early solutions were complex and expensive. Leveraging their expertise and access to state-of-the-art server infrastructure, they founded cortecs to address this need. By offering dedicated language models securely hosted in Europe, cortecs ensures peak performance without the hassle. Users can build their applications immediately without spending time on infrastructure setup. Accessible via API, the models are lightning fast, cost effective and GDPR compliant. Experience with AI Founders by Campus Founders 🚀 The AI Founders program has been a catalyst for cortecs, driving its growth and development. It has provided a rich network of experts, investors and like-minded startup founders, fostering invaluable mentorship. This has resulted in a refined marketing strategy and an improved product.

Their key takeaways include: ✅ Customer Focus: Understanding the importance of clearly defining your customer segment. ✅ Structured Marketing: Learning how to market their product in a structured and effective way. ✅ Strategic Prioritization: Gain insight into effective prioritization to align with customer expectations.
