🚀 Glad to be among this year’s Top 10 finalists!
Excited to see what the next few months bring and to share the progress we’re making with imagemed at the final pitch in November.
To my Munich friends and anyone who’ll be around Munich in November — come join us for the Pitch Night! Would love to see you there. ✨
Proud to be recognized by Women Startup by UnternehmerTUM among 10 visionary women finalists shaping deeptech and healthcare innovation across Bavaria.
In exactly one week, I’ll be starting the Future Female Innovation Leaders Program as part of the 2026 cohort.
It’s almost exactly two years since my first trip to Silicon Valley. Back then, I was driven by curiosity. I wanted to understand how ambitious ideas actually become companies.
Joining this program feels like revisiting that same environment from a completely different place. The vision for imagemed is now tangible, and the focus is no longer on possibilities, but on execution.
Looking forward to the conversations, the sharp perspectives, and the people building with the same intensity.
Excited for what’s ahead. 🚀
The day before my Master’s defense, I pitched imageMed at the Red Bull Basement national final. 🎤 🇩🇪
Last week wasn't about optimization; it was about execution. A 48-hour pressure test in context-switching that forced me to project the same six months of building in two completely different settings.
• Thursday in Heilbronn: Pitching at the Red Bull Basement national final.
• Friday in Ulm: Defending my Master’s thesis.
Same core system. Same six months of building. But the audience quietly reshapes what comes through.
In Ulm, the framing naturally pulls into depth: model architecture, design decisions, explainability, and regulatory constraints by design. Precise, technical, internally consistent.
In Heilbronn, that same system had to be compressed into 120 seconds. The technical layers became an “intelligence layer” focused on a single outcome: freeing clinicians from the heavy “documentation tax” they pay every day.
The realization was simple: the work itself doesn’t change, but the way it has to be expressed does. As a founder, the challenge is not only building something that works, but making sure it still holds its meaning when it gets compressed for different audiences.
I didn't view the Red Bull final as a distraction from my defense; I saw it as a parallel stress test. I wanted to see if the DeepTech architecture I’d built could survive the transition from a technical deep-dive to a high-speed pitch without losing its integrity.
The Result: imageMed placed 2nd out of 1,000+ applications across Germany 🥈.
A huge congrats to the Please Touch This Art team for a strong final. It was a close call, but their project has an emotional hook that’s impossible to ignore.
The national final is over, and the Master’s is done. Now, we're back to the long game: building imageMed alongside the healthcare system to ensure that the signal we’ve created actually lands where it’s needed most.

🚀 February came with its own schedule.
4 am to 4 pm was reserved for focused work as I’m wrapping up my thesis. But nothing said pitching couldn’t happen after that.
So I did my first pitch at the START Stuttgart #RTSS event and showed the first imageMed demo.
What stuck with me that night was a moment of contrast. I still remember the first time I sat in front of an ultrasound system during clinical rotations. Everything looked like noise. Just grey patterns with no meaning.
Now, building the demo, the images are getting clearer and clearer. And honestly, so is the path for imageMed.
This pitch came together somewhere between iftar and sahoor. Ramadan doesn’t slow things down. If anything, it sharpens the focus.
One phrase I heard that evening was “too early.” But I honestly don’t believe in too early when it comes to startups.
The only “early” I believe in is early feedback. And I’m excited for what comes next. ⚡
