…wondering if the leasing prices should be so one directional like that, an SaaS platform like that could quickly evolve into a reverse auction….hmmm….going to think about this and talk to some people…..

The issue is the “reverse” search. And the integration into the Audi Bank / Mercedes Bank for leasing pricing.

Hmm… I suppose rather than bother with integration, if the dealerships already have websites with their available cars online, then the solution could offer a simple data entry screen: monthly rental details, URL to existing car description. Perhaps a simple browser plugin for the dealership – browse to car and press “Add to Rental System”. The backend would occasionally ping the db of URLs to see if they were still active, and after N retries of not getting a page, after some period of time the car would get unlisted.
Just my first shot at a design :-)

Stefan, thanks for the kind words. Looking forward to meet you again. MIT? Berkeley? St. Gallen? I cant keep track of your academic career any more!

Comment on WTF Berlin by simonschmincke

Ultimately, build your company where it works for you. The stuff you learn from spending time in a thriving startup environment where you get inspiration from other founders through daily exchange is a reason to start your thing in an active startup environment. No matter if Berlin or not.

Comment on WTF Berlin by Nuno Brito

The Berlin that I know was struggling to be seen as credible, we’d often hear people mocking that you just get funded when pitching about any crappy idea related to e-commerce, IoT or bitcoins.

That was one of the reasons why we started and simply stayed in Darmstadt, the proximity to heavy-weights in engineering (Software AG, SAP, Telekom, …) and focus on building something different. Only over time realized that Berlin was VERY good in other things not-directly related to heavy engineering. For example, Berlin is great on UX, marketing, life-style and just about anything consumer-oriented.

In overall, made us consider to get closer with what happens in Berlin and learn from what they have to share. Plenty of good stuff happening there.

Simon, it’s nice to read you have had a great time in Berlin and you’re doing well. I must doubt, however, that you were nervous. Can’t imagine that. Seems like one could throw any task at you and you master it. Good luck for the future! Hope we get a chance to meet again!
