Investor Relations

We're looking for investors.

On July 1, 2026 our seed round opens.

Spontanoo is an app for spontaneous activities in your city. Closed beta in Chemnitz from July 1, 2026, app stores on August 1, then scaling across DACH with the seed round. We close the round by the public launch.

This page is for investors who want to come along for the ride. Not a press release, more like what we'd tell you in a first call. Just without needing a calendar invite.

Why now

36.5 %

of 15- to 30-year-olds in Chemnitz struggle with loneliness.

Three things are meeting right now. Spontaneous behavior has become default for under-thirties: they follow a delivery-service logic, not a calendar logic. The established players (Meetup, Eventbrite, Facebook Events) keep optimizing for big events with weeks of lead time. And the technical building blocks for hyperlocal real-time apps are finally at a level where they can be scaled at sane unit costs.

In Chemnitz alone, 30 percent of 18- to 45-year-olds are our target audience (City of Chemnitz, December 2024). DACH-wide: millions. We're not the only ones who see this. But we have months of lead in architecture, a team that doesn't have to gel first, and a home market that sits at the end of US competitors' roadmap, not at the start.

What we're building

Other apps show what's happening next week. Spontanoo shows what's happening now. Within a kilometer of you, in the next hour, one tap to join.

Concretely: a live map with active events. After-work beer, running session, board game night, concert. No paywall before the first event, no RSVP marathon. Rough location, contact details only after a match.

Where we stand today

On July 1, 2026 we go live in closed beta in Chemnitz. Over the first eight weeks we validate conversion rates with 100+ MAU from our direct circle. On August 1 the product hits the app stores. We close the seed round by the public launch.

Positioning

Where we play

In the DACH market for social activities there's one unserved quadrant: spontaneous activities with other people. Established players serve either planned events (Meetup, Eventbrite) or solo tools (calendars, personal routines). We occupy the white space for hyperlocal real-time encounters.

How we activate DACH

Customer acquisition modeled as a conversion funnel, not gut feel. We activate DACH through four parallel channels: social-first, university partnerships with TU Chemnitz, University of Leipzig and TU Dresden, micro-influencers with Saxony ties and hyperlocal guerrilla marketing. Public-launch targets: 25,000 downloads, 400 DAU within 12 months.

Conversion funnel

Conversion rates 8 / 25 / 40 / 35, modeled in our October 2025 marketing strategy. Base: 100,000 local awareness contacts through the channel mix.

CEO and Founder · Chemnitz, April 1, 2026

Hi,

I'm Alex. If you're reading this, someone probably sent you the link, or you stumbled across the footer line. Either way: thanks for the time.

I've spent my whole life enjoying meeting new people without ever really noticing it. Lots of travel, lots of moving around, built my first website in eighth grade. Five years ago I moved to Chemnitz, to the Kaßberg. There are small, actually pretty great spots here that almost nobody knows, even if you live here. Two years ago I had no idea that a hundred-meter Christmas market was happening a few streets away.

The idea came out of that observation. It got stronger when I noticed what it feels like to sit at home alone on a Friday night. Friends on vacation, busy with kids, sick. Nothing to do, and not really up for sitting in a café alone hoping someone strikes up a conversation. You need a reason. Spontanoo is that reason.

Other platforms help if I plan something two weeks out. If I want to do something now, I find nothing there. That's exactly the gap we close. You open the app and know: in the next hour something is happening nearby that you can join.

We believe that's more than a nice app. It's also a way to bring local economy back to life, and an answer to what many in my generation are feeling right now: this aloneness that doesn't really need to exist.

We're seven people today, all with equity, so far side-project. We brought the product to beta with our own money, without outside capital. On August 1 we go public. Until then we're looking for investors to take us from side-project phase into full-time operating.

If that interests you, write me directly. I reply personally.

Team

The Operators

Founder plus six operators, remote across Germany, all with equity. So far side-project, financed out of our own pockets. The seed round turns that into full-time operating.

Spontanoo ist im Store: Der Beta-Test in Chemnitz läuft

Seit dieser Woche steht Spontanoo in beiden Stores: Version 1.1 im App Store und bei Google Play. Live ist die App in Chemnitz, ein kleiner Kreis testet sie dort gerade. Die App ist der einzige Weg rein, eine Web-Version gibt es nicht. Und sie ist invite-only: Du brauchst einen Einladungscode von jemandem, der schon dabei ist.

März 2025
