In our video series #TheWorldAfterCorona Munich startups look back on the past year and also venture a forecast for the future: What will remain when Corona is over?
Bao Solutions offers software for remote sales – the perfect product for a pandemic. But as the founder and CEO Patrick Strunkmann-Meister As reported in our video, Corona also hit his startup hard at first:
"Wave 1 hit us. At first, you think, remote sales—actually good, but we were in the middle of a financing round, barely gaining traction, and that meant nothing happened for a while."
Bao Solutions: “We see ourselves as Corona winners in the long term”
The Munich-based company intensified its efforts despite the crisis and was able to reap the benefits of its efforts during the second wave. Strunkmann-Meister said the companies adapted to the new situation and remote sales. With software from Bao Solutions, they were then able to optimize their sales.
His summary of the past months and his outlook for the future are therefore positive:
"We also see ourselves as a winner from the coronavirus pandemic, even though we've had to suffer a bit, especially when it comes to fundraising and budget availability for our clients. But the topic is on everyone's lips; everyone now knows we no longer have to explain at length what we're doing and what it's good for. It's immediately clear to everyone, and that's why we're very optimistic that we'll be able to benefit from it in the future."
