Our students received 50th start-up grant of the TU Dresden

Thomas Meerpohl and Joshua Peschke worked on their diploma theses in our lab and developed a novel hardware and software system for digital music production and drum synthesis. Together with Clemens Schmiegel they founded the NEUBAU company and now try to hit the market with their innovative solution. Raimund Dachselt is one of their mentors supporting their efforts. On August 18th 2016 they received the 50th EXIST start-up grant of the TU Dresden. Congratulations on this success and all the best for your entrepreneurial future!
