\u201cHardware is so out<\/em>\u201c \u2014 an opinion that Katharina Kreitz often encounters. But success proves her right. Because things are going well at Vectorflow<\/a>, the startup she founded in 2015 together with Christian Haigermoser and Florian Wehner, right after completing her studies in aerospace engineering at the Technical University of Munich. In a short interview, she shared with us why this felt like the right time to start her business and whether she considers being a female founder an advantage or disadvantage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What motivated you to start the company?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I simply wanted to do better than the solutions that were on the market at the time.<\/p>\n

Did you have any role models when you started your business?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dad, he has his own company.<\/p>\n

When and where do you get the best ideas?<\/strong><\/p>\n

With my team, outside.<\/p>\n

Your greatest talent?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sales department.<\/p>\n

The biggest mistake you have ever made?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That I can do everything on my own.<\/p>\n

Your secret weapon when networking?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simply approach people openly and constantly throw yourself into new situations, even if they are uncomfortable at first.<\/p>\n

Does this seem like a good time to start a business? If so, why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don't know, but it was good for me to start a business right after graduating, as I didn't have any responsibilities like children or an expensive apartment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a woman, you have to do more in the technical field\u201d<\/h3>\n

A prejudice that you have often encountered in your everyday life as a founder?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hardware is so \u201cout\u201d.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s on top of your desk right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

3D-printed probes.<\/p>\n

What makes you happy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

At work: When I see that my customers can generate added value for themselves with our products.<\/p>\n

In my free time: skiing.<\/p>\n

Is being a female founder an advantage or a disadvantage for you? <\/strong><\/p>\n

It is certainly easier to get attention, but as a woman in the technical field you always have to achieve more than men to be perceived as equal.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
