THE SIMPLECLUB STORY:
We started our entrepreneurial journey when we were in 11th grade. We uploaded learning tutorials on YouTube and quickly amassed 3 million+ subscribers and over 1 billion video views, establishing Germany’s largest educational channels.
In 2019, leveraging this traction, we launched a learning platform for students, achieving a €500k profit in the first year (bootstrapped and profitable). This success led to a Seed round with HV Capital.
The platform became the go-to for students in DACH, attracting 2 million+ monthly users, which catalyzed a Series A with 10x Founders.
Then, a pivotal moment shifted our focus from B2C to B2B and made simpleclub become one of the fastest growing HRTech startups in Germany:
Companies across Germany sought our help to address a critical shortage of skilled young talent—a €2.4 billion macroeconomic challenge (Source: Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training).

Medlytic
Every year, hospitals invest billions in health technology and IT to decrease the burden on healthcare professionals and improve the quality of care for patients.
But the implementation doesn't always go as planned, giving little or no return on investment. The investment has already been made - the implementation is about extracting the most possible value from it.
This is why Medlytic has built a data analysis platform looking to de-risk investments in health technology and health IT by improving the implementation process.
With real-time data visualized in an actionable way, hospitals can make data-driven decisions and focus resources where needed. Medlytic's platform automatically provides research-based recommendations for each phase of the implementation process, based on the organization's risk profile.
We have two customer segments: healthcare management in hospitals and the vendors of health technology / IT to those hospitals.
