Five Success Stories From the LMU EC

At the end of last year, the LMU Entrepreneurship Center (LMU EC) stopped its operations. Its successor, the LMU Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center (LMU IEC), has now taken its place. We look back and showcase five of the most successful Munich-based alumni from the program.

Yfood
yfood: It all started with meal replacement drinks. The Munich company’s product portfolio now also includes hot bowls, meaning meals that you add water too, as well as bars and powders that you prepare yourself. The basic concept behind yfood remains the same, namely to make it possible for people who don’t have time to cook to replace “an entire balanced meal in a convenient, time-saving and affordable healthy way.” During their appearance on the startup show “Die Höhle der Löwen” in 2018, the two founders Benjamin Kremer and Noël Bollmann were able to convince Frank Thelen to make a 200,000 euro investment. Further investments followed. If you would like to give the yfood drinks a taste test, they are available at stores such as Müller, Rewe, Rossmann and Edeka.
