Our Story

Successfull closing of first investment round

Apr 2023

This will allow to grow our team and bring our optical technology for easy material analysis from prototype stage to market.
We are grateful to our investors Thomas Wagner, Thomas Ecker, Wolfram Drescher and Andreas Kupke for their confidence and support of our vision. You help us not only with a high six-figure amount of capital but also, and especially, with your experience, strategic guidance and knowledge on making companies successful businesses.
We are looking forward to accelerate WiredSense together.

Stay tuned! 🚀

WiredSense wins the Gründergeist startup competition 2022!

Sep 2022

A sharp focus and clear market access convinced the jury at the pitch: "We completely believe in the scalability" said Katrin Pietschmann (Fielmann Ventures GmbH) when handing the price to us (see here).

We feel honored and are enthusiastic to bring our material analysis solution to market.

Many thanks to Wirtschaftsjunioren Hamburg for organizing this competition!

WiredSense moves into the Start-up Labs Bahrenfeld

Jul 2021

Due to the direct connection to the DESY research campus and the proximity to other high-tech start-ups, the Start-up Labs are a breeding ground for creativity and innovation.
This new building offers an excellent infrastructure for the development and unbureaucratic implementation of deeptech ideas. We are thrilled!

First prototype of pyroelectric detector

Feb 2017

Matthias and Thomas develop a first detector for broadband infrared and terahertz detection. The need for this device originates in their research at the Max Planck Institute for Structure and Dynamics of Matter where Matthias works as a PhD student for physics and Thomas as a beamline scientist.
