The building site calls, obob founders take off: 1:0 for the future of the skilled trades

They live what they build. They have known each other for several years from media:net’s Catapult start-up program. They are the serial founders Kilian Eckle, Moritz Schroeder and Tim Loewel. At Pizza&Bier in the MediaTechLab Lounge in Studio Five, the three of them explain how a phone number typing error turned into the company idea for the photo app obob.

We three obob founders are ...
Digitiere: one for all, all for one. ⚔

Our company idea came about ...
because people had been calling from a construction site for months. At some point, the telephone number typing error became a symptomatic finding and thus a case for us Digitiere.

Obob is ...
the smart photo app for trade and construction. Data-enriched photos, quickly completed, comprehensible and sufficiently legally compliant – nothing gets lost.

We founders got to know each other ...
at Catapult 2013/2014. Since the start of the program, the motto has been “every third Tuesday of the month, 19:07, everything said stays in the room, what are our leads and needs, what questions or topics concern us, where can we help with experience!”

For us, Potsdam is ...
A place of creative tranquillity, even the journey can be a destination.

In 2021, obob…
is the digital foundation of construction and trade for all visual media.

Are we real Potsdamers or passionate newcomers?
We are drawn to Potsdam again and again. Probably the weather.

We associate VR/AR/KI with ...
enormous potential for construction and trade and thus for obob.

Our favorite location for networking in Babelsberg is ...
MediaTech Lab Studio Five ?

We recommend every startup ...
to acquire paying customers or financing industry partners as early as possible. Early-stage investment is still far too fragmented and costly.

This is still important to us ...
Keeping fit. New things inspire. There’s always something to improve.
