Zum Staffelfinale haben wir Hakan Evcek, Mitgründer von Zenaris, zu Gast. Aus einer Seminaridee an der TU Darmstadt ist ein Startup entstanden, das ältere und pflegebedürftige Menschen über den Fernseher mit Familie, Freunden und Pflegekräften verbindet – ganz ohne Smartphone oder komplizierte Technik.
In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, wie aus der Idee ein echtes Startup wurde, welche Hürden er auf dem Weg gemeistert hat und was er aus seiner Gründungsreise mitgenommen hat.
Mit dieser Folge endet die zweite Staffel des „Startup Takeoff“-Podcasts. Im Oktober 2026 sind wir mit Staffel 3 wieder zurück.
