Have you ever lost a more or less valuable item? I guess you did because on average a person loses 1.24 items per year. In my last 21 years on this world I have lost multiple umbrellas, bags, the matching watch to my first school bag and an earring I inherited from my great-grandmother. Whilst an umbrella is easily replaceable, the earring wasn\u2019t. And I wasn\u2019t lucky because although I retraced my steps and called every lost and found office there is, the earring remained lost.<\/p>\n
Once a year, Frankfurt School invites multiple (regional) start-ups into Frankfurt School to present their company to all of our students. This is a unique chance to get to know the young companies but also to get inspiration to founding your own start-up. During my first year studying the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration<\/a> at Frankfurt School I got more and more interested in the process of creating your own company. This is why I attended the Frankfurt School Startup Night<\/a> and had a chat with many interesting people.<\/p>\n For our summer break I was looking for an internship and thought that I\u2019d get most out of it if it is \u201call hands on deck\u201d (like it is in a start-up). It came down to two options: Emma-Mattress or Have-it-back. I knew Emma-Mattress before the fair because we\u2019ve had a talk by the founder Max Laarman a few weeks back. He told us more about his founding process, the company\u2019s journey and their attempt to increase sustainability. Have-it-back on the other hand didn\u2019t have a physical product. They developed a software which works with artificial intelligence to automatically match lost items with found pieces. This software is now used by Fraport and many other airports worldwide.<\/p>\n On my way back home I forgot my bag in the subway. Luckily I was able to get it back through the RMV lost and found office. I took it as a sign and decided to take the internship at Have-it-back. And I can definitely say that it was a great experience. Especially since I was \u201conly\u201d a first year student and was still able to take on sole-responsibility projects. For example, I developed a new sales strategy, worked on a project to determine the fixed and variable costs of a physical \u201cstore\u201d and helped improving the software to make it more intuitive.<\/p>\n Markus Schaarschmidt (founder and CEO) was totally flexible and extremely supportive. Have-it-back was only a team of three, but supported by two interns over the summer! I would recommend these kind of internships to everyone.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have you ever lost a more or less valuable item?
