Quantumfrog GmbH, a start-up from the University of Oldenburg in the field of web development, received the "Best of CampusGründung 2013" award today at the Hannover Messe. This makes it one of the best start-ups in Lower Saxony.
Every year, the Lower Saxony Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Transport and the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture award the prize to the three most convincing start-ups from the GründerCampus Niedersachsen. Quantumfrog was able to prevail over 60 other start-ups from universities in Lower Saxony.
Dennis Gravel, Torsten Lüders and Hendrik Rump founded Quantumfrog GmbH in April 2011. The team develops games, comprehensive web solutions, mobile applications and customised software. Their goal: to provide high-quality solutions for the web and software and to design innovative online games that are not yet available on the market. "Individuality is our programme. We don't offer off-the-shelf solutions," explains Hendrik Rump from Quantumfrog.
As a pilot project, Quantumfrog created the trading card game "Nanofights" based on its specially developed "middleware". The team has already received several awards for its development and technologically innovative idea - including the EXIST start-up grant in 2010 and a grant from GründerCampus Niedersachsen 2012, which nominated them for "Best of CampusGründungen 2013".
Dr Petra Buchholz, Head of the University of Oldenburg's Start-up and Innovation Centre (GIZ) and start-up consultant for Quantumfrog, is well aware of the strengths of the three-person team: "It combines creativity, technical expertise and tenacity - a combination that leads in the right direction.
