We received our initial capital through…
Ourselves.
Photo credit: QGateThe real pain about starting a business in Austria is…
Finding investors and drawing up a budget.
The person that inspires us is…
We are totally into Apple and of course also admire Steve Jobs. He was an exceptional visionary who inspired so many people. He made technical stuff sexy and easy to use – an approach that is also true for QGate.
The one app/service that we couldn’t live without is…
The QGate app. We work with it every day. We are constantly improving and refining it. We are using it at home or while traveling. The QGate app lets us stay in touch with our homes, for example when we have forgotten to switch off the iron or the TV.
The one thing we would save from our burning office is…
Our QGates, of course.
The worst piece of advice we ever got was…
To do business the same way as other people do.
The one thing that will make us quit is…
Honestly? Nothing. Except of the end ofthe world maybe.
Our inside joke is…
That one day we will be on the cover of Time Magazine.
You might not believe it, but we…
… already received a red dot award (red dot award: product design 2012). Another interesting fact: QGate is manufactured in Austria.
We’ll call ourselves successful when…
People all around the world use our product. QGate was developed for international usage. It is a real IoT gadget that can be used by anyone without any technical know-how.
The startup we really want to see on inventures’ Startup Pick is…
QGate, of course 😉
