A frustrating product job in Hamburg sent Malte Scholz into business with two co-founders. After airfocus joined Lucid, he returned to the same stubborn question: what should a team build next?

Before DARVIS, Jan-Philipp Mohr worked on software deals and wine recommendations. His next venture took him from virtual worlds to a stubbornly physical question: where, exactly, is everything?

He joined an open-source survey project to translate it. Two decades later, Carsten Schmitz is still working on the questions - as LimeSurvey’s co-founder and CTO.

He grew up on a Demeter farm, helped sell electric cars and home batteries, then built 1KOMMA5° around a stubborn idea: the energy transition has to work at the front door.
