Our Studio partners with entrepreneurs at day one, developing new ideas, technologies and business models into high growth companies. In our Germany Studio, we’re now exploring concepts at the intersection of climate tech and real estate. We’re looking for an experienced operator with entrepreneurial ambitions to lead a new venture as Founder & CEO with our investment and the full backing of Founders Factory.


The Opportunity


To reduce the high emissions and energy consumption of its real estate, Germany has set direct targets for 45% of its entire stock to be renovated by 2030 and 90% by 2050. This means doubling the current renovation rate to at least 2%, but there are many barriers to these renovations, including high upfront costs, complex regulations, lack of qualified workers, and a data-intensive planning and design process.


A Retrofitting Platform for Private Landlords


With only 47% of the population living in an owner-occupied dwelling, Germany has one of the lowest homeownership rates in Europe and makes up the biggest rental residential real estate market. More than 60% of these rental flats (roughly 14 million dwellings) are owned by private owners rather than big companies. 


We’re currently exploring the following solution: A retrofitting platform that puts the scale, knowledge and expertise of larger landlords who retrofit at scale at the service of smaller private landlords, managing the entire end-to-end retrofitting process from quoting and planning through to financing, project management and execution. This will help private landlords not only get a fair rent increase to pay for the work, but increase their rental returns and drive fair value of their properties.
