Intro

Up to 10.1 million people could be affected by short-time working, 300,000 additional unemployed people were reported in April and gross domestic product fell by around 25% compared to the previous year.

The economic horror stories about the consequences of coronavirus are coming thick and fast. The start-up sector is particularly affected.

Despite the announcement of emergency aid of 2 billion euros from the German government, around 70% fear for their existence. Since a concrete timetable and the final framework conditions for the rescue package are still unclear, companies must react themselves and do so faster and more dynamically than ever.

In our blog series #PivotMasters, we want to show what this can look like. Every week, we would like to introduce companies that are rethinking in times of crisis, inspiring others or making a contribution to society.
