• challenge the feasibility of freachly's business model and conducting sensitivity analyses
• provide further recommendations on the influencer selection process 
• provide feedback on the current sales processes and a vision of improvements to the sales process

The German travel industry continued to perform well in 2016, which in turn created stronger demand for virtually all travel-related products and services. This greatly motivates Mister Trip to grow its business as a startup and possibly even enter new markets while scaling up.

Mister Trip is the leading German online marketplace for tailor-made travel. More than 50 local travel agencies and experts in the destinations create personalized and authentic trips based on the customers’ requirements. Travelers benefit from their unique know-how, cheap direct prices and a secure booking/payment process via Mister Trip´s platform.

The MAN 633 Inside the Venture team helped Mister Trip to define a clear and systematic approach to find and choose new incoming agencies to work with. Additionally, the team consisting of Danilo La Farciola, Abdulrahman Bres, Massimo Zanesco and Kai Bruchmüller also supported the growth of  Mister Trip's portfolio by designing a strategy for prioritizing and entering new markets. Eventually, the team crafted a recommendation according to the developed tailored decision support system. 

In their MAN 633 Inside the Venture project, Duc Manh Nguyen, Indhira Mehalingam and Oriane Bruxelle have supported the Mannheim Startup PulseShift. 

PulseShift is a highly innovative start-up proving solutions which assist the management tier of any organization in gauging the employee involvement in the implementation of any change in the organization. And this service is backed by a highly efficient technical support, which helps in dynamically generating reports and KPIs, which will assist the change management people to make effective and timely decisions. And they promise this by getting the employee feedback on the implemented change on a regular basis in form of surveys that helps the management to have a continuous stream of feedback from their employees during the whole transformation processes. The student team challenged PulseShift's business model, ran competitor analyses and developed a strategic pricing framework for PulseShift.
