👤 Founders Background

Alongside his trusty companions Oliver Grübnau and Leo van den Brandt, Julian embarked on a mission to shake up the world of education with Fuxam. Their journey is a testament to resilience and the power of a good idea.
💡 How the Startup Idea Emerged
Fuxam didn't just magically appear; it sprouted from a seed of discontent while Julian was sweating over yet another paper-based exam.
What began as a casual conversation in a shisha bar between Julian and co-founder Oliver Grübnau soon evolved into a shared vision to revolutionize education. Renamed from "smarTest" to "Fuxam" the startup forged ahead, undeterred by initial setbacks and doubts.

No startup journey is complete without a few bumps in the road, and Fuxam had its fair share. Rejections from investors? Check. Moments of doubt and uncertainty? Double check. But Julian and his crew didn't let setbacks dampen their spirits. With grit and determination, they hustled their way to over €800,000 in funding, proving that perseverance pays off.
