Time to get out again, I thought, and searched Meetup for exciting events for the evening. Pitch & Poetry in E-Health<\/a> struck me as a rather odd combination. I pictured the startups preparing their pitches in the usual jargon. The hinted link with poetry made me curious. So off to hub:raum<\/a>. Three startups dared to take the stage:<\/p>\n

E-health startup Cary<\/strong> uses \u201cradar cameras\u201d in a room to analyze people\u2019s falls and raise the alarm. The concept sounded familiar \u2013 after all, a similar startup had been part of the Grants4Apps<\/a> startup program last year. The only thing new to me was the name of the market: the so-called \u201cbeachhead\u201d market, which is of course really \u201ctough.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next startup \u2013 Labiotech<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 wants to become the information portal for biotech. Why that requires capital rather than simply going it alone wasn\u2019t entirely clear to me.<\/p>\n

Dongji<\/a>,<\/strong> startup number three, had long since left the seed phase behind: activity tracking for \u201cchubby\u201d kids. What I found exciting here was a question from the audience: Is it really the parents of \u201cchubby\u201d kids who buy the app and the sensor \u2013 or rather fitness-minded parents whose kids don\u2019t have a weight problem at all? Desiree Ludewig admitted that they had noticed this too. Health insurers or others need to step in here, because parents aren\u2019t willing to pay.<\/p>\n

But now to the poets. Their main job was to loosen things up. They made sure that between the startups, our minds shifted into a higher gear \u2013 away from the meet-and-greet culture and toward the question of why we actually do all this. Startups and poets don\u2019t really go together \u2013 but only from the point of view of each group. From the audience\u2019s point of view, the combination is fantastic.<\/p>\n

Especially Karsten Lampe<\/a>. When Jannis Busch wrote to ask whether he would speak about startups and e-health, since it has an \u201cinnovative spirit\u201d and you can \u201cconnect,\u201d he responded with a new text showing that our language creates \u201cclosed societies.\u201d A phenomenon not only of our time: we become intelligible to our own group, but not to others. Jannis promised to change the language of his emails from now on. That\u2019s something. If you want to know what a poet like that writes, here\u2019s a sample<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I stayed until midnight and enjoyed chatting with Doris Lohrmann, Gerd Graumann from Evicare<\/a> and Carolin Auschra from FU Berlin<\/p>\n

PS: If you record startup pitches or have your own recordings, be sure to contact Carolin<\/a>. Her doctoral thesis explores what pitches reveal about startups\u2019 intentions.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Jannis and co. for a great evening. And of course a big thank-you to the organizer hub:raum<\/a> and sponsor Grants4Apps<\/a>.<\/p>\n
