4 startups that die in December have fallen

You can use Fäkalien Geld, use the Internet for everyone, recruit with KI and help you recycle construction waste: these are several startups.

In this format we have the Monatlich Startups editorial team from Gründerszene, which is in a young positive time and which has fallen.

Shit2Power: Aus Fäkalien Energie machen

Was the startup macht: Shit2Power will be at the Scheiße Gold machen. Yes, it’s true! The Berlin start-up has a business line, the washing machine within the energy sector is now available for the energy sector; in electrical Energy, Wasserstoff and phosphorreiche Asche. Letztere wird beispielsweise in der Düngemittelproduktion benötigt.

Here is the lost problem: Shit2Power will allow you to solve more problems: it’s an investment in energy and higher costs. Laut Startup verursachen Kläranlagen rund ein Prozent des gesamten Stromverbrauchs in Deutschland. Mithilfe der Anlagen von Shit2Power soll die Energie für den Bettrieb der Kläranlagen noch vort zurückgewonnen werden können. Another problem with Shit2Power is that Germany’s chief research organization for refrigerators and municipal life is very expensive. Durch die Verarbeitung des Klärschlamms vor Ort fall diese Kosten weg. And this will allow the Startup to help you, the Süßwasseraufbereitung weltweit auszubauen. Während in Deutschland runs 95 Prozent des Abwassers gereinigt werde, seien es weltweit nur etwa 20 Prozent. When you are here, you have to go to the Kosten, and you have to be in charge of the Kläranlagen verbunden sind.

Where is the startup: Shit2Power was founded in February 2023 by Nina Heine and Fabian Habicht and is a graduate school of Humboldt University Berlin. Aktuell befindet sich the Startup noch in the Entwicklungsphase. Last year, until 2025, it is an einsatzfähige Anlage mit einer Leistung von 6,2 Tonnen Klärschlamm pro Tag zu entwickeln, so das Unternehmen.

This data from Shit2Power offers great attention to investors and development programs. In September 2024, Berliners received 150,000 euros from the RAG Foundation for the BRYCK funding program. In May 2024, I invested 500,000 euros in the Impact-VC startup Better Ventures. Last November, Shit2Power won two ausgezeichnet prizes: the green prize of the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Security obtained the main prize of the IDEE financing prize, which cost 50,000 euros. Since Shit2Power started, the EXIST program is supported.

Dabei KI einzusetzen, this is our logic. Everbay will take care of KI das Recruiting zudem starter auf Platttformen verlegen, wo Bewerber tatsächlich erreicht werden – wie die sozialen Medien.

Here is the lost problem: An easy-to-use application with a smartphone connected to mobile Internet. Praktisch ist the zum Beispiel für Reisende, die im europäischen Ausland unterwegs sind – dort also keinen Zugriff plus auf the kostenlose EU-weite Roaming haben. To get an affordable price, you need to get a SIM card from a local company. Mit Firsty fell on the road. You can also firstly experience falls in the Netz-Engpässen in the Land aushelfen.

Therefore, the best possible solutions are better to get the können – beispielsweise, um sie anschließend efficient wiederverwerten zu können. Dafür nehmen Cameras Bilder des Bauschutts auf; zum Beispiels auf einem Lkw ou Förderband liegend. Im Anschluss wertet a KI-basierte Software die Bilder in Echtzeit aus et bestimmt die Zusammensetzung des Bauschutts.

Here is the lost problem: Jährlich fell in Germany more than 200 million tons Bauabfall year. The more half of the food is rich in minerals, the more natural resources are used. Darunter Beton, Ziegel, Fliesen or Keramik. The system like that of the optocycle uses a means of supplying this baustoffe, is not in your resources, it probes the CO₂ inside, and it is in large installations of the installation of new concrete. Working time is reduced in the construction branch in order to reduce costs for organization and new materials. Entrepreneurs also have a personal interest in a system like Optocycle’s.
