Which driving school is right for me? \u2014 The Munich-based startup drivolino wants to help with this question. Its online service for driving schools and students is designed to help. One of the founders, Boris M\u00fcssig, explains exactly how this service works in our 7 questions.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Who are you and what do you do?
\n<\/strong>
\nWe are Dr. George Kerschbaumer, 49, who is responsible for finance and strategic partnerships and is a serial entrepreneur, and I, Boris M\u00fcssig, 33, who is responsible for product management and sales to driving schools. Together we are drivolino<\/a>: drivolino is the number one contact for driving students in Germany and is the portal for finding the right driving school and booking and paying for driving lessons digitally. We also work with strategic partners such as BMW and Aral to develop customized solutions for the very specific and interesting target group of driving students (and driving schools).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe digitize the contact between driving school and student\u201d<\/h3>\n

While a lot has happened in driver training in recent years \u2013 key words are learning apps, driving simulators, the use of VR glasses, etc. \u2013 the interaction surrounding the training often still takes place as it did in the last millennium.
\nHere, drivolino offers the opportunity to use digital services that are already standard in other areas, such as booking taxis, hotels, or takeaway food. On drivolino, you can choose from over 17,000 German driving schools and filter or compare them based on a variety of criteria\u2014from distance and language of instruction to instructor photos. We also offer an app that allows students and driving schools to access the same calendar, allowing students to book driving lessons and pay online.<\/p>\n

2. But that's been around for a long time!
\n<\/strong>
\nInterestingly, not! While there are still a few "address portals" for driving schools dating back to the early 2000s, a performance comparison of schools like ours, or anything comparable to our "drivolino book&pay" app, doesn't exist in Germany or\u2014to our knowledge\u2014in any of our neighboring European countries.<\/p>\n

Sales: a real challenge<\/h3>\n

3. What has been your biggest challenge so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sales. Driving schools and students are very specific target groups, often with rather small budgets and often with very different technical skills (average student driver: 21 years old, driving instructor approximately 50 years old). Developing and selling solutions that work for both target groups can be quite a challenge.<\/p>\n

4. Let\u2019s get down to business: How is business going?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We've become the leading website for students to choose driving schools in Germany, with several hundred paying customers and some cool partnerships with companies like BMW and Aral. Nevertheless, there's still plenty of room for improvement in all areas, whether visibility, product development, or internationalization!<\/p>\n

5. What does Munich mean to you?
\n<\/strong>
\ndrivolino is and remains a Munich Kindl! From our office space in Werk1 in the Kunstpark Ost (thanks to funding from the Ministry of Economic Affairs), to the support of the BayStartUp<\/a> and the Munich business angel scene in past financings to the partnership with a large local automobile manufacturer, we benefit in many ways from Munich as a location!<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be satisfied if we reach a similar scale to MyTaxi.\u201d<\/h3>\n

6. How will your startup become the next unicorn? Or will we see you soon at Epic Fail Night?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We'll be satisfied if we reach a similar scale to MyTaxi, which has achieved a decent valuation in a similarly sized market\u2014just under three billion euros in Germany\u2014with comparable services and partners. We'll see what happens next.<\/p>\n

7. Helles or Prosecco?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since we go to the Sch\u00fctzenzelt rather than the Weinzelt at Oktoberfest: Helles!<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
