With the OndoSense apex Evaluation Kit, you benefit from the highest precision as well as from a simple and fast sensor control – in an attractive overall package. The radar sensor can directly be used for applications such as distance measurements after the straightforward installation of the OndoNet sensor software. OndoSense can help you implement customized solutions, if needed.
Freiburg, 1 August 2019 - As a specialist for high-precision, robust and networkable sensors for industrial applications, OndoSense has won the "Start-up BW Pre-Seed" financing of the German region of Baden-Württemberg in the amount of 400,000 EUR. With the startup's sensor solutions, the automation of production processes is possible with a precision in the micrometer range. With robust radar technology, OndoSense sensors are reliable even in harsh environments such as noise, dirt, smoke or steam.
"We are very excited about winning the pre-seed financing. It is a strong proof of confidence in OndoSense's strong innovation skills and future viability as well as in the attractiveness of our start-up to customers, partners and investors. Based on the high interest of our micrometer-precision, network-capable and highly robust sensor solutions on the market, we can step up the successful marketing of our radar sensors and software in industrial applications", explains Dr.-Ing. Mathias Klenner, co-founder and CEO of OndoSense.
With the investment program "Start-up BW Pre-Seed", the economically strong German region of Baden-Württemberg awards promising and highly innovative start-up projects. It also supports them in the further venture capital financing by institutional or private investors. OndoSense's pre-seed network partner is bwcon (Baden-Württemberg: Connected), Baden-Württemberg's leading economic initiative for the promotion of innovation and high-tech locations. The "Start-up BW Pre-Seed" financing is provided by L-Bank and Volksbank Ortenau.
The "Start-up BW Pre-Seed" funding program was launched in July 2018 by Baden-Württemberg's Minister of Economic Affairs Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut. The aim is to support innovative founders in the so-called pre-seed phase, in which private investors and venture capital companies (VCs) are more reluctant. "In Baden-Württemberg, a number of business ideas are already waiting for the chance to finally prove that they have the potential to be the next medium-sized enterprise or even more," said the Minister. "We want to promote this potential with our new program."
We have been invited to the pitch competition of the Heidelberg Innovation Forum on the topics Internet of Things, Mobility and Energy! On 9 July, OndoSense will proudly present its innovative business model in radar sensor technology to company representatives and investors at the InnovationLab in Heidelberg together with various European start-ups. Under the motto "Advanced Mobility in a Smart Environment" expert will speak on the future Smart City. The pitch jury comprises the following companies: EnBW (New Venture Capital), MBG, MVV, InnoEnergy, HTGF, Vector Informatik GmbH and Wieland Ventures. The best pitches will be announced in the evening at the award ceremony. May the best pitch win!
With more than 5,000 exhibitors, Hannover Messe is the world's largest industrial fair and a hotspot for the industry. At our booth G30 in hall 9, we are going to demonstrate the precision and reliability of our preSENSE radar sensors.
We are looking forward to your visit!
OndoSense competed as one of eight teams at the E-TOP Pitch organised by f.u.n.k.e. Mittelstands GmbH on 07.04.2018. We attended many interesting talks and made new contacts. We would like to thank Marlene Maurer for the excellent organisation and all the participants and visitors for their support.
After the successful start-up phase with support by the EXIST program, OndoSense GmbH has been officially founded on 12.03.2018. We would like to thank our pilot cutomers and project partners who made this possible.
Starting on 01.03.2018, the OndoSense project will be sponsored by the EXIST program of the German Ministry of Economics and Energy. The founding team is very pleased about a subsidy amount of about 140.000 €, which will help to establish their business and make it viable.
Our ideas and visions explained in a compact format at the Baden-Württemberg finals of the Start-up BW Elevator Pitch in Stuttgart.
The idea of developing marketable high-end millimeterwave sensors convinced the jury and has been awarded with the first prize in the category Innovations from Science and Universities. The founding team is very pleased about numerous new contacts and the prize money of 500€.
