Ohrlaf at the "Augsburg gründet!" – Pitch, children's laughter, pre-orders 🎉

A day full of energy, ideas, and enthusiasm

Sometimes it's exactly these moments that show you why you do what you do.
At this year's "Augsburg gründet!", Anastasia Solovyeva and Kilian Wimmer had the fantastic opportunity to present Ohrlaf to a large audience – on the stage of the Idea Slam!

Together with four other great startups, we had the chance to pitch, inspire, and show what screen-free learning can look like.

🌟 The Competitors on Stage

We were in excellent company – and the competition was impressive:

✈️🌳 Raingers GmbH – uses drones to check our forests for pests. (And: Congratulations on winning the Idea Slam! 🥇👏)
🥦⬆ FARM-Z – provides regional farmers with access to vertical farming technologies.
📚😎 PHRAISE – revolutionizes information retrieval through AI-based research.
🛣📱 Smart bestehen – helps learner drivers master their practical test stress-free.

It was impressive to see how many forward-looking ideas come from the region – and how much passion goes into each individual project.

💡 Ohrlaf on Stage – and in the thick of it

The atmosphere was fantastic, the audience attentive, and the networking simply invaluable.
But the absolute highlight came without a stage at all:
Some children had the chance to try out Ohrlaf themselves – and their laughter, their curiosity, and their amazement were the best feedback for us.

"When children start to beam as soon as they hold Ohrlaf in their hands – that's when we know we're on the right track."
– Kilian Wimmer

🎧 A Day Full of Tailwind

As if that wasn't enough, there was another surprise:
The first new pre-orders came in directly on site! 🎉

This response shows how deeply our vision of screen-free, playful learning touches people.
For us, this day was a real energy boost – proof that Ohrlaf is not just a product, but a movement.

❤️ Thank you for this wonderful day

A huge thank you to the entire "Augsburg gründet!" team for the excellent organization, the open exchange, and the stage where ideas come to life.
Special thanks to Stefan Schimpfle, Sarah Nowotsch, and Raphael Feinäugle – you made the event truly special.

🌈 Conclusion

"Augsburg gründet!" was more than just a pitch event.
It was a day full of encounters, inspiration, and genuine feedback – from entrepreneurs, investors, and the most important testers of all: children.

With new contacts, fresh motivation, and initial pre-orders in hand, we look forward to the next chapter of our Ohrlaf story with renewed energy.
