  • Aviloo and the Used EV Battery Trust Problem

    Aviloo and the Used EV Battery Trust Problem
    May 14 2026

    Used electric vehicles have a trust problem. Battery state of health determines range, resale value, charging performance, and buyer confidence, but most buyers still cannot verify battery condition through an independent source.

    In this episode of Startuprad.io, Jörn Menninger speaks with Marcus Berger, CEO and partner at Aviloo, the Austrian battery diagnostics company building independent EV battery testing infrastructure. The discussion covers Aviloo’s flash test, OEM data limitations, the EU battery passport, US expansion, growth financing, and the future of used EV certification.

    - Why Munich is overtaking Berlin in venture funding

    - Why German defense procurement matters for startups

    - Why European space tech is attracting venture capital

    - Why Frankfurt may become a stronger tech IPO venue

  • Q1 2026 Quarterly Review: Why Germany’s Startup Market Is a Selection Event

    Q1 2026 Quarterly Review: Why Germany’s Startup Market Is a Selection Event
    Apr 9 2026

    This episode analyzes three structural signals shaping the DACH startup ecosystem in Q1 2026. First, startup capital is concentrating into fewer, more defensible companies. Second, Germany’s startup geography is specializing, with Munich and southern Germany gaining strength in defense, robotics, space, and industrial AI. Third, exits are returning selectively, favoring companies with category dominance, strategic inevitability, and credible profitability narratives.
