The past twelve months have been very eventful. This news has caused a particularly big stir.

On average, people in Germany wait between four and six months for a place in therapy, so digital offers are welcome. The start-up Linkeminded offers group therapies and raised 3.5 million euros last year from investor Heartcore Capital and the Hasso Plattner Institute. Click here for the press release.

Gorillas also has to abide by the law and that means: Sunday is a day of rest. That's why the Berlin start-up has only been delivering food six days a week since February. This announcement spoiled the weekend for many.

Fast home delivery had its super year in 2021, with numerous start-ups launching. One of them is Dropp, which delivers e-commerce products within three hours. It received two million euros for this concept in October. Only the clicks were faster than the delivery.

Cannabis was one of the key topics in 2021, with the start-up Bloomwell offering medically prescribed marijuana to pain patients. Last year, the Frankfurt-based company raised ten million US dollars from American investors. The news made it to fourth place among the most popular news items on Startbase.

He joined in 2020, but left again in 2021: Jörg Kattner left Gorillas at the beginning of the year and is now primarily a business angel. The start-up's growth was too fast for him. Just one month after his departure, Gorillas became a unicorn. This news also made it into the ranking.
