In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Tim Seifferth, CEO und Co-Founder von Eaze, über die erfolgreich abgeschlossene Pre-Seed-Finanzierungsrunde in Höhe von 1,7 Millionen Euro.

Eaze hat eine personalisierte Schlaf-Coaching-App entwickelt, die den Usern dabei helfen soll, besser zu schlafen. Die App bietet eine datengesteuerte Online-Behandlung durch qualifizierte Schlafexpertinnen und -experten, die skalierbar gestaltet ist. Die Anwendung nutzt die Methoden der kognitiven Verhaltenstherapie, um Schlafprobleme auch auf langfristige Sicht lösen zu können. Konkret startet das Schlafcoaching mit einem Schlaftest, bei dem eruiert wird, ob die Schlafprobleme psychische Ursachen haben. Im Folgenden wird dem User eine Schlafexpertin im Online-Chat zur Seite gestellt, die anschließend noch individueller die Schlafsituation ergründet. In einem letzten Schritt erstellt die Expertin einen personalisierten Coachingplan, der aus zwei 10-minütigen Techniken in der Woche besteht. Das Startup wurde im Jahr 2022 von Tim Seifferth, Timur Nohut und Noah Nawara in Berlin gegründet. Mittlerweile vertrauen mehr als 1.000 Kundinnen und Kunden auf das datengestützte Schlaf-Coaching. Mit einem besseren Schlaf wird ihnen nicht nur Lebensqualität zurückgegeben, sondern auch psychisches Wohlbefinden, eine höhere Produktivität und eine Verbesserung der langfristigen Gesundheit.

Nun hat das Berliner Startup in einer Pre-Seed-Runde 1,7 Millionen Euro unter der Führung von Redstone und dem EnjoyVenture Human Impact Fund eingesammelt. Zu den weiteren Kapitalgebern zählen Barmenia Next Strategies, APX und Business Angels wie Philipp Man und Anton Rummel. Das frische Kapital soll für die Weiterentwicklung der innovativen Schlaf-Coaching-Lösung eingesetzt werden.

Eaze totally changed shopping for cannabis in California with its on-demand delivery app. But creating a leading customer experience for something that used to be illegal presents a whole set of challenges most companies will never have to deal with. Starting from the prohibition era and continuing through the medical marijuana years up to the current legalization of adult-use cannabis in California, we see how the retail and delivery industry has changed as the laws have changed.

Sheena Shiravi, Director of Consumer Communications, and Mick Frederick, VP of the Customer Experience, both at Eaze, discuss how they are helping customers overcome the stigma of cannabis. Ricardo Baca, CEO of Grasslands and former marijuana editor at the Denver Post, provides an expert historical perspective of the industry. Adweek's Ann-Marie Alcantara explains how Eaze is taking cannabis digital. And Sky Siegel, General Manager for SPC Fleet, describes Eaze's impact on cannabis delivery.

Special Guest Ryan Lalonde, Startup Entrepreneur

Special guest Ryan Lalonde, local startup entrepreneur joins host Drew Ogryzek to discus product validation, development, finding a market, and the product he is currently working on in the growing cannabis industry.

Eaze, sometimes called "Uber for weed" is a medical marijuana delivery service. Lalonde suggests that there's nothing like this is Canada, yet. So a potential market exists for someone to capitalize on.
