The founders Elena Dwenger and Aylin Kitte of HandsOn! won the semi-final of Hamburg’s Female StartAperitivo earlier in May with their joint vision of breaking down prejudices in the skilled trades and opening doors. The project emerged from the Körber Start-Hub’s Next Generation incubator. Second place went to Greenspot, a Hamburg-based start-up that promises farmers higher revenues and customers fresher fruit and vegetables under the motto of "Farm to Fork". Farmers switch from monoculture and to direct sales. Manti Manti, a start-up that produces stylish and sturdy glasses for children, came third and won the most votes. A cash prize of EUR 5,000 was presented as well as start-up coaching and mentoring.
