Navvis measures and digitizes interiors using a specially developed trolley. We spoke with CEO and co-founder Felix Reinshagen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, the Munich startup Navvis<\/a> Described as "Google Maps for indoor spaces": The internet giant from Mountain View has mapped the entire world and made it digitally accessible. Every place in the world can be discovered virtually in seconds: Where can I find a supermarket, a subway station, or an ATM?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, however, Google can't map buildings. We always notice this deficiency when we enter a large building. Just like 100 years ago, we have to rely on signposts and room numbers to find the right room. Navvis wants to change this and has been extremely successful. At the end of 2018, the Munich-based company was able to 35.5 million dollars in investments<\/a> recruit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Felix Reinshagen: \u201cWe were in the right place at the right time\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a video interview with Munich Startup, Reinshagen reveals the secret of Navvis's success. He also explains what he thinks about Munich as a business location\u2014and where he sees room for improvement. This much in advance: The co-founder and CEO believes that timing plays a crucial role in Navvis's success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
