About us:

pHlower is an early-stage start-up from the TUM Campus Straubing, founded by Master’s students in Bioeconomy and Sustainable Management & Technology.

Our product is a biosensor-integrated packaging solution that assesses the freshness of food in real time. pHlower creates a dual impact: it helps reduce food waste while also protecting consumer health by preventing the consumption of spoiled food.

We are currently being represented in the "BioTech Ventures" course. It is a High-level project-based course in cooperation with TUM Venture Labs, TUM, MIT and Stanford, organized by the Chair of Innovation and Technology Management, an exceptional course introduced to Straubing students for the first time this semester. The course is worth 6 ECTS credits.

About you:

We seek motivated individuals whose primary goal is to contribute to product development, with academic credits considered a secondary benefit. You have a background in chemistry or related fields. Participation in the course is not mandatory to join our team.

Specifically, you will support us with:

• Fine-tuning and further development of our biosensor
• Providing lab expertise and testing approaches
• Shaping a real early-stage start-up with impact
• Learning directly from TUM Venture Labs how to turn an idea into a viable venture
