Five Success Stories From the LMU EC

Happybrush: Thanks to their appearance on the Vox startup show “Die Höhle der Löwen,” the Happybrush founders Florian Kiener and Stefan Walter became famous across Germany overnight. The startup from the LMU EC sells various oral hygiene products and is focusing on sustainability in their development. For instance, the Munich startup’s portfolio includes vegan toothpaste in recycled packaging and a climate-neutral electric toothbrush. With their concept, they not only won over two investors on the show, Ralf Dümmel and Carsten Maschmeyer, in 2017. In their Series A funding round in April 2021, they got additional investors on board. It was then that Happybrush also announced that they had already sold more than five million products.
