Deep Tech Germany: AI, Robotics & Frontier Innovation by Startuprad.io™
joe@startuprad.io
Deep Tech Germany™, powered by Startuprad.io, explores the scientific breakthroughs and deep technologies shaping Europe’s future. Hosted by Joe Menninger, this podcast dives into the convergence of research, engineering, and venture capital — where pioneering ideas evolve into scalable companies.
Every episode uncovers how scientists, founders, and investors in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (DACH) transform frontier technologies into global businesses. From AI and robotics to semiconductors, quantum computing, photonics, biotech, and space tech, we highlight the ecosystems that make Europe a world leader in applied innovation.
Whether you’re a researcher commercializing IP, an investor seeking defensible deep-tech opportunities, or a policy leader shaping industrial strategy, this show reveals how deep science becomes deep growth. Our guests include entrepreneurs, scientists, and investors building Europe’s next generation of unicorns through advanced R&D, venture building, and technology transfer.

Mainz-based flyingshapes accelerates product development with their VR software
You are listening to the audio track of a YouTube interview. Find all the interviews at YouTube.com/Startupradio
A personal note from Joe: Every time you see Johannes smile, I was telling stupid stuff / laughing in his earbuds. Sorry about that, but I had a lot of fun recording the interview.
Interview PartnerIn this interview, we are talking to Johnnes Mattmann (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannes-mattmann/,https://www.crunchbase.com/person/johannes-mattmann), founder of flyingshapes (https://www.flyingshapes.com/ https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/flyingshapes) a VR startup, which offers a software for industrial design (think automobiles, machines, planes, …).
Johannes studied particle physics and even had a research stay for his Ph.D. at CERN (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CERN). Known to many people from Big Bang Theory (as large hadron collider https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL9XeopaOTY) but should actually be known as the birthplace of the world wide web.
The StartupDuring his studies, he had to make abstract data visual and process lots of abstract data, which he can now apply at flyingshapes. flyingshapes helps companies to do more of their product development process in their software and therefore enable them to accelerate their process. They also enable virtual design teams from across the world.
Venture FundingFlying shapes raised investments in fall 2019 from ISB (https://isb.rlp.de/home.html) and Bito Campus (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/bito-campus), but they are looking for more investors in 2020. If you are interested, reach out and we connect you.

PERUN accelerates payment transactions on Blockchains with private channels
BackgroundPublic blockchains, like Ethereum and Bitcoin, can only perform ten transactions per second. If you only want to put one percent of global financial markets on the blockchain, you would have to do hundreds of thousands more. That is where Perun comes in. They are a B2B startup and work with other companies who are interested in blockchain or already working with it. Perun generates an additional layer on the original blockchain, their protocol (2nd layer off-blockchain) is more secure and much faster by enabling transactions to be sent peer to peer in separate channels without confirmation of thousands of blockchain miners. In each channel, thousands of transactions per second are possible with current technology.
Perun’s channel technology could also be used by centralized financial networks like credit card companies or other payment providers (think PayPal). Their channel technology also allows machine-to-machine-payments on blockchains.
During the interview, we also talk about their technology’s theoretical limit.
They will soon release their protocol as an open-source developer kit. Find more information on that on their website.
Interview PartnerIn this interview, Joe is talking to Sebastian Stammler – Implementation Lead (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebstar/) and Hendrik Amler Scrum Master (https://www.linkedin.com/in/hendrik-amler-932506191/) at Darmstadt based Blockchain startup PERUN (https://perun.network/). At the time of the interview (October 2019), the company was not yet incorporated.
Perun is part of a research group jointly of TU Darmstadt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technische_Universit%C3%A4t_Darmstadt) and University of Warsaw (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Warsaw). TU Darmstadt is one of the great starting points for many deep-tech startups (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_tech) here in Germany. You might also want to pay a visit to HIGHEST, the startup and innovation center of the university: https://www.highest.tu-darmstadt.de/highest/index.en.jsp.

Spotify https://spoti.fi/2qucve8
DISCLAIMER:As opposed to the usual Youtuber or Podcaster in the Blockchain space my guests don’t pay thousands of Euros to be here. AND neither am I invested in you guys. I am also getting NO kickback.
For everyone who is surprised about that, many channels work like this. Just pay attention to the people in Telegram Chats who ask for admin emails and “business proposals” they usually sent an offer with a price tag of several thousands of Euros, sometimes upwards of 50.000 Euros, just to be on their channel. Oh, and before I forget: They usually only want cash, they don’t take crypto.
Make sure you vet your main blockchain information source before you fall into those traps.

Vobis was a – now-defunct – computer hardware retailer in Germany, in the late 1990s. Some years they were showing the largest revenue for computer hardware in Germany. Learn more here in Wikipedia (article only in German): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vobis

QualiFiction helps more SciFi authors to get published
You are listening to the audio track of a YouTube interview. Find all the interviews at www.youtube.com/startupradio
Find all the links and show notes here: https://www.startuprad.io/blog/qualifiction-helps-more-authors-to-get-published/
In this interview, Joe talks to Gesa of this year’s winner of the CONTENTshift (https://www.contentshift.de/en/) accelerator QualiFiction. Learn more here: https://www.contentshift.de/en/contentshift/news/congratulations-to-qualifiction/.
Publishers receive more than 4 million book proposals for SciFi novels each year, in the German-speaking area alone. Now QualiFiction wants to help here so more texts can be evaluated by the publishers. The startup has an AI, which can – within 60 seconds – evaluate a SciFi text. So, they avoid publishers sending back unread proposals to the aspiring authors, due to a lack of readers for evaluation. They also generate the metadata (e.g. genre) for the text.
QualiFiction is also looking for publishers who give them masses of texts in different languages so they can extend their offering to other languages, besides German.

In this video interview, we are talking to Johannes “Joe” Noll (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannes-noll-10907478), who is co-founder and CEO at Darmstadt based App Guard. App Guard helps developers – to keep pre-programmed elements they are using in their applications – up to date, so no one can exploit known loopholes from those elements. This is important, since already a few hours after the release of new software automated tools will start to hack software, with known weaknesses. You can access the tool Codario here: https://codario.io/. They support docker, composer, NPM, Drupal, yarn, and python.
“5 Hours after the release of the software, automated hack start”
Currently, App Guard is raising Venture Capital. Reach out to us, to learn more.
The video interview was recorded at the booth of Frankfurt Forward at Entrepreneur University in Wiesbaden, Germany. Thank you to SAP Next-Gen for providing us space at their booth for the interviews before this one. Thank you to Frankfurt Forward to provide us the space for this interview.
