People are debating everywhere: Statistics or AI? On LinkedIn, on Twitter, and even within research teams! “Statistics is better because it’s rigorous and proven!” “That’s not true, AI is better because it’s powerful and scalable!” Can one exist without the other? Statistics provides the foundation—rigor, reliability, a way to interpret data. Got a small dataset? No problem. AI takes it further, adding prediction, automation, and scale. But it needs data. And, crucially, reliable data. So, where do we draw the line? At what point does statistical analysis evolve into AI? For us at AICU, they’re complementary: statistics makes AI reliable, and AI makes statistics powerful. We aim to make AI as trustworthy as traditional statistics. What do you think? Can we really separate them? Let’s discuss!

Excel is easy… if your tasks are simple. Excel is fast… if your project is short. But here’s the truth: Excel is a Trap. Why? Because once you get comfortable— you see some early wins, you get the first results— and before you know it, time passes. Others pick up where you left off, they add, they share, they expand. And suddenly, Excel isn’t simple anymore. The project is massive. The data? Complex. So, what do you do? Maybe you think about adding VBA. Or some system. Somewhere. But usually, you just keep going. It’s a classic Excel spiral. How could this look for you? Imagine having 1 to 100 Excel sheets to work with— filter, calculate, highlight, plot. And it’s usually a similar process each time, right? With us, that process will be just a couple of clicks. You’ll be relaxed. Your team will build on top— as much as they want. In short: You save time, money, and drive innovation. Kudos to you!

Let’s get a bit nostalgic. Remember the multiple-choice questions from your studies? What’s your pick? #MachineLearning #DataScience

"Most AI in healthcare is hype." Say no to ChatGPT Benchmarks. Research thrives on collaboration, not trends.

"Consultants are hired so executives have someone to blame." That's what #MBA professors say, and, well, sometimes the numbers agree. When we started with Netlight — the consultants with the horse 😉 — we expected PowerPoints and, well… more PowerPoints. But in onboarding, they blew us away. At Netlight, people work like a finely tuned AI — drawing from an expansive network of expertise. Got a question? There’s an expert Like Niklas Rieder who’s happy to lend a few minutes, and the knowledge power is immense. On top of that: Turns out, "technical consultants" exist! Our team grew by six Netlighters for a week: Rafael Kübler da Silva Marco Negrini Unidon Krasniqi Iurie Tap Marlon Luca Bucciarelli Hang D. We ended the week with fresh strategies, code structuring insights, and a few insider jokes. On the side? They know the best food spots in Munich. We've already been back to their favorites three times. Our biggest takeaway? Honest talks on expectations, skills, and visions make fast onboarding and great teamwork possible. And OMG — how powerful are networks? Special thanks to Rafael for structuring our meetings and making a one-day onboarding for a year-long project happen — and to the whole Netlight team for driving so much progress and change. And a huge thank you to TUM Venture Labs #Heilbronn Software & AI, Bahia Boukhari, Jan Blasius, and Jan Mittendorf for recommending us for this 1-week collaboration. Here are the amazing organizers of the week: Natalia Shohina, Yulia Lomakina, and Niklas Rieder :)

When you present something you love, with all your passion behind it, you can't help but light up with joy on stage. At the Heilbronn Slush'D Pitch Competition in #Heilbronn, we didn't just share ideas; we shared our work and the love our team puts into it every day. The atmosphere was perfect to simply be proud in that moment, to reflect on the journey so far. If you look at those pictures, it looks like those crazy celebrations in movies. And yes, it was a bit crazy. But perfect in a way that there's no way not to get excited and feel like you're part of something big. We loved the light and confetti show. Winning in the #FemaleFounders category was more than a moment of recognition. It was a celebration of the countless hours, setbacks, breakthroughs, and the team who makes it possible. This win is for you - AICU team. Every challenge, every triumph was reflected in the applause, in the light show overhead, the music, and the hugs from friends and teammates who've been with us from the start. The journey has been long, and it's far from over. But we're walking it together, hand in hand—celebrating every step. Together, we're changing how #research and #innovation happen. Thank you, #SlushD, VdU – Landesverband Württemberg | Verband deutscher Unternehmerinnen e.V., Campus Founders, Deutsche Dienstrad, GREEN FamilyOffice GmbH, TUM.ai and everyone who believed in us. Congratulations to Onuava and resourcly for #2 and #3. Here's to more milestones ahead! #StartupJourney #GermanStartups

#Hiring – Wir suchen eine:n neue:n Founders Associate (m/f/d) in Munich, Bavaria. Bewerben Sie sich noch heute oder teilen Sie diese Stellenanzeige mit Ihrem Netzwerk.

There are two states today: At Heilbronn Slush'D and not at Slush'D. In #Heilbronn, we didn’t just find a program  – we found a community. Campus Founders brought us together.  Their programs – AI Start, AI Founders, AI Incubator – gave us more than resources. We got co-living spaces.  We worked, lived, and built side by side with other founders. This is simply an emotional #network – not just business. 1. Programs that bring people together. Very short time but 24/7.  Co-living. Co-working.  Founders learning and growing together. Where is the difference between business and personal? 2. Make your networks emotional. It’s not just business.  People get emotionally invested – in each other and in your brand. 3. Let your network feel the power. When people come together, they feel the impact  They create as a group. 4. We support each other.  Celebrate wins. Share struggles.  We add value far beyond our circle. Someone said, “Every time I go to Lidl, I feel like  I’m giving back a piece of what AI Founders gave me.”  That’s the level of connection. Slush'D is where this power shows. It’s not just an event – it’s where this community comes together. We only saw a small piece of that community power. I bet there is more.  More in Investor Networks.  Company Clusters. And lots of tech power. Don’t miss out. Are you at Slush'D or not? Because this is where it all happens. #SlushD #CommunityPower #CoLivingCoWorking #NetworkImpact #InvestorNetworks #DontMissOut
