High added value for medium-sized businesses 15x2 – this prize title is characteristic of the previous qualification and evaluation round. Over the course of the entire year, eight pre-selected German start-ups competed for the favor of the corporate customer advisors. All participants in the format had 30 minutes to do this – a quarter of an hour for the company pitch and another quarter of an hour for subsequent questions.

The evaluation focus for the voting was particularly on the aspects of innovation, profitability and importance for medium-sized businesses. Before the final decision round, all start-ups had to submit a short video statement on Cell Phone Number Database three questions asked in advance, which served as the final evaluation basis for the vote by the corporate customer advisors at DZ BANK AG. In the end, the start-up clockin prevailed with its innovative app for time recording and order processing.

The award winner from Münster was particularly convincing due to its solution-oriented focus on eliminating the prevalent paperwork in medium-sized companies. The cross-industry usability of the software means that the solution offers high added value for medium-sized companies.

Due to Corona, the award ceremony initially took place online in a large group. Thomas Löcker, Head of Corporate Customers West & Central, and initiator Martin Petsch, Managing Director and Head of Industry & Automotive, finally personally presented the prize, worth 3,000 euros, to the tech start-up, which has already received several awards, on March  at the DZ BANK branch in Münster.



‍Award ceremony causes demand boom
“We are very pleased about the award, especially because it was given directly by experts for medium-sized businesses who see the challenges customers face in digitalization every day,” says co-founder & CEO Frederik Neuhaus.

The newly crowned award winner will also be presented to a larger audience at a larger DZ BANK event, provided the pandemic conditions allow it. However, the tech start-up is sure to attract the attention of corporate customer advisors. Following the award ceremony, several contacts have already been made with customers of the initiative bank who want to benefit from the innovative software solution.
