A bootstrapped three-founder Dresden team (one co-founded robotics unicorn Wandelbots). Phase 1 (2024): virtually all early users from co-founder Johannes Schwärzler's "FlipperImmo" YouTube audience — his own words: 99% of the first 1,250 users — plus a "FinTech of the Year 2024" award for PR. Phase 2 (2025–26): broadened to SEO/blog/newsletter, Instagram/LinkedIn/Facebook, programmatic per-city calculator pages, and data partnerships (PriceHubble, ImmoMetrica, Vermieterwelt). A +194% last-30-day revenue spike at capture; now publicly raising a seed round ("Wir suchen Investoren").
