Patrick Schröppel,
founder in Augsburg.
Work is slower than it has to be. I work on that.
Patrick Schröppel is a founder in Augsburg, Germany, who studies where work loses time and builds products that win it back. His work starts from one observation: work is slower than it has to be, and most of the lost time isn't in the hard part but in the waiting in between — the follow-ups, the sign-offs, the copying from one place to another.
He founded AUVY, which reads a project's emails, meetings and files, spots what changed and prepares the next step for a person to approve. His other ventures are OpenPulse, ImTakt and Limbova, each aimed at one specific place where time gets lost.
He publishes the research behind them, including the results that fall short: how AUVY's memory performs on public benchmarks, where delay builds up on German long-distance trains, and, in progress, MemContinuity, a benchmark for whether a company's memory stays true over time, and a full study of how Deutsche Bahn could run on time.
