“The Lion’s Den” – Startup “Tinus” was liquidated after bankruptcy

There has never been anything so curious in the nine-year history of “Die Höhle der Löwen” (DHDL): Before the next episode was broadcast, it was announced that the start-up “Tinus”, which will be part of the successful series next Monday performing, has long been broke. , This is reported by “Gründerszene.de”.

Your product, a special pillow for people with tinnitus, is no longer available for purchase. The website of the Munich young entrepreneur is offline, the founders Simon Greschl and Jaqueline Schaupp have long had other jobs.

The episode was filmed over a year ago. The company then had to file for bankruptcy in September 2022.

“DHDL”: Startup Tinus can be seen in the Monday edition despite liquidation

The “Tinus One” should be able to transmit sound and play any sounds via Bluetooth, a podcast or a piece of music, for example. This is intended to mask the annoying inner ear noises that occur in people with tinnitus. Only the person lying on the pillow can hear the sounds.

The pillow should cost 800 euros. That was probably too expensive for many interested parties. By the end of August last year, not even 100 of the smart pillows had been sold. According to the start-up scene, however, this was the condition for investors to continue financing the start-up.

The lack of interest in the smart special pillow is said to have been the reason for Tinus’ bankruptcy. After filing for insolvency at the Munich district court last fall, no new investor or buyer was found. Tinus GmbH has now been liquidated.

It is not known why the DHDL episode is still broadcast despite the bankruptcy.
