A Symphony of Innovation 🎶: meinhaus.digital and Palasts Redefining Building Tech Together 🏗️
We are proud to highlight two visionary startup teams, meinhaus.digital and Palasts, who are rewriting the narrative of building tech. Led by the entrepreneurial quartet Ina, Carolin, Alexandra, and Leonie, they aren't just shaping the industry; they're setting a new standard for collaboration and innovation. 💡
meinhaus.digital, with its revolutionary configurator, offers customers the possibility to plan their house renovation without an architect. 🏠
Palasts, on the other hand, stands as an AI-based requirements engineering platform for architects, planners, and principals. 🤖
The serendipitous union of these two teams occurred during their time in UnternehmerTUM programs—meinhaus.digital in XPLORE and Palasts in XPRENEURS. The story traces back to the Executive MBA in Innovation & Business Creation, where Ina and Carolin envisioned a 'configurator for your home.' Their idea, awarded best start-up idea by the jury at the EMBA. This also connected them with Lisa (the link to XPLORE) and Martin Giese who taught negotiations at the EMBA (the link to Palasts).
Simultaneously, in Palasts, Alexandra and Leonie were developing their own concept targeting the same group, initially an interior designer recommender system. However, the pivot was inevitable during the pandemic, leading them to align their vision with meinhaus.digital's focus on the renovation market, powered by AI recommendations.
Martin Giese played a crucial role in connecting these teams during XPLORE and XPRENEURS Incubator, where their synergy became evident.
Together, they crafted a configurator with an unprecedented ease of use, driven by expert or open questions similar to ChatGPT. Questions that were traditionally directed at architects or energy consultants can now be formulated to the configurator in a way that anyone could understand, guiding users seamlessly through the process. 💡
Still immersed in the Executive MBA and the Impact project (concluding in March), their MVP is set to launch this year, marking the beginning of customer acquisition. 🚀
💭 Carolin reflects, 'We were targeting the same problem from two different sides, and our projects were super complementary. We merged the products, worked on them together, and both developed into something that’s a bit different but that is also the essence of what we had before.'
Leonie emphasizes the impactful connections made during XPRENEURS: 'One of the greatest things we experienced at XPRENEURS is that we met Carolin and Ina.'
The MeinHaus.Digital and Palasts success story transcends immediate goals. Launching their MVP and acquiring the first test customers, they envision a ripple effect transforming the construction sector. 🌊
