During his time as a founder in Silicon Valley for a blockchain startup, Clemens Pompeÿ, often wondered if today’s solutions were on track for tomorrow’s problems – even though it was not yet clear whether this problem would even exist in the future. Why not focusing in challenges instead of solutions?
What started as a hobby four years ago, led Clemens and Christian to jointly found prototype.club as a publicly effective event platform for startup collaboration in February 2022.
While working on prototype.club and with the experience as a management consultant and later as an innovation manager in a large corporation, Clemens could always see that the experts in specialist departments had many small ideas for today’s problems.
Everyone is focussing on startups and innovation. But only a few take the time to ask specialist departments in companies what their real day-to-day challenges are that they would like to have solved by startups.
In the same way, procurement departments have always been open to publishing even small-scale offers for new distributors, but this process is very personnel-intensive and therefore not cost-efficient. However, the procurement departments of companies would always put them off with “next year” since the order for the improvement would have been too small.
So there needs to be a highly automated tender platform for small-part procurement that also meets a company’s compliance and procurement guidelines:
This was the birth of Prototype.biz!
Prototype.biz digital solutions will simplify the company’s daily work in collaboration with startups. Based on KPIs it will save the industry real money through these optimizations and automatisations.
Our mission is therefore guided by this simple analogy:
Prototype.biz takes innovative companies out of the startup marketing petting zoo into the professional and efficient world of digital livestock farming!
