Investment ready — When assessing which startup is ready for investment, we base our assessment on the “Dealroom Signal” of the Munich Startup Insights. This evaluates companies based on four categories: "Timing" indicates how much time has passed since the last financing round; "Growth Rate" refers to the startup's growth rate; "Founding Team" considers the founders and the successes they have already achieved; and finally, "Completeness" refers to the startup's data situation within the insights. Startups can achieve a maximum score of 100 in all four categories, as well as in the overall ranking. (Photo: cac_tus / stock.adobe.com)

To this end, it stores the electricity generated from renewable sources in a decentralized manner and makes it available around the clock. At the beginning of last year, the young company was already able to Seed round 4.1 million euros What does the dealroom signal say now?

Orbit Health — Orbit Health has developed an app that helps provide personalized treatment to people with Parkinson's disease. Smartwatches record movement data, which is then analyzed and evaluated by an AI system. This allows treating physicians, nurses, and even patients themselves to continuously monitor and access the patient's condition. In its founding year of 2021, the startup secured support from EIT Health and thus €1.5 million. However, Orbit Health has not yet received any venture capital. A score of 94 in the Dealroom Signal's Timing category suggests that this could soon change. (Image: Munich Startup)
