Johannes and Felix studied at Duale Hochschule Mannheim. Nevertheless, we are happy of course every time the outstanding startup ecosystem of Mannheim gets the recognition that it deservers. Startups from the University of Mannheim have created thousands of jobs in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region and throughout Germany, generated disruptive product and business model innovations, and are driving structural change in various markets. Former Mannheim students were involved in the founding of such big shots like Auto1.com, Weltsparen/Raisin, Payback, Statista, Instafreight, Eshelter/Investa, Amorelie, Homeday, Camelot Consulting, Foodspring, Stocard, Treasury Intelligence Solutions and many others.
