In an “Inside the Venture” project in cooperation with the student consultancy INTEGRA e.V., a highly skilled and motivated team of 5 students consultants has conducted the project “Financial Optimization and Competitor Analysis for CM3P“. CM3P is a spin-off from the University of Applied Sciences Mannheim. It develops advanced customized software solutions with a focus on medical technology applications.
During the assessment of the startup’s needs, it became clear that an optimization of the cash flow management and liquidity planning would be highly valuable to the young venture. Thus, Nina Haarkötter (project leader), Anton Reindl, Stephan Ebert, Philipp Emert and Marius Hepp designed and programmed a liquidity planning tool, validated the underlying assumptions, conducted an implementation workshop and furthermore analyzed different scenarios to obtain implications for the financial planning of C3MP. As a second part, the project also included a profound competitor analysis based on competitive intelligence- surveys, which were analyzed using an extra developed scoring system.
The performance of the consultant team was of a remarkable standard and to the highest satisfaction of the startup . The dedication they showed is very impressive – despite of the project being free of charge, each team member put more than 80 hours of hard effort into it! Thus, we and CM3P thank them very much and wish them all the best for their future careers, which surely will be amazing! We also thank INTEGRA e.V. for making such fruitful projects possible. We can give INTEGRA e.V. the highest possible recommendation.
The project was conducted in Fall Term 2013.
