From Idea to Founding
Our journey began at the University of Wuppertal, where we met during our physics studies. Alongside our academic work, we were particularly fascinated by data science, software development, and infrastructure. Even during our bachelor's studies, we were approached by master's and doctoral students from other disciplines for help with data analysis and software development.
During the Corona pandemic, which was marked by widespread remote work, we increasingly focused on data science and software development. It was during this time that our idea took shape: Graduates in the business world also need our expertise. Moreover, we realized: Many companies talk about AI in their public statements, but few actually implement it. That became our motivation.
After successfully applying for the Wuppertal Start-up Scholarship (W-stip), we founded Digon.IO GmbH on February 22, 2022. Shortly after, we received the North Rhine-Westphalia Founder's Scholarship. Since then, we've been supporting SMEs in optimizing their entire supply chain and helping software companies implement data analysis and algorithms.
