Juconn

Juconn GmbH, a technology firm based in Unterföhring, Germany, specializes in developing Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and smart data applications aimed at digital energy and heating management. Founded in 2017, the company emerged from Minnt GmbH and Thinkmore AG. The leadership team includes CEO Sven Dunker, who brings over two decades of experience as a manager and founder in international IT companies, alongside experienced developers and serial entrepreneurs. The current management consists of Julian Dawo, Christian König, and Dr. Raimund König.

The company's core business revolves around a flexible, manufacturer-independent IoT platform that enables customers to rapidly implement and scale their own IoT solutions. This platform is built on a micro-service architecture, allowing it to aggregate any data type from various sensors and hardware, and is designed to be protocol-agnostic. Juconn generates revenue by providing these tailored end-to-end IoT solutions to businesses across multiple industries. In January 2019, Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG acquired a 15% stake in the company, highlighting Juconn's strategy as both a solution provider and an incubator that gives startups access to its cloud platform in exchange for shares. A significant milestone was achieved in June 2023, when Juconn secured €3.5 million in a financing round led by Grünwald Equity and Minnt to scale its primary heating software, Immoconn.

Juconn offers several specialized products, with Immoconn being its flagship solution for the real estate sector. Immoconn provides digital heating management for existing buildings, targeting property managers, owners, and facility managers. The system involves installing an "Immoconn-Box" in the boiler room, which collects real-time data from the heating system, regardless of its age or manufacturer. An AI-powered software then analyzes this data to provide actionable recommendations for optimizing operations, such as adjusting night-time settings and boiler circuits, which can lead to energy cost savings of up to 20%. Other solutions include Heatconn for digitalizing district heating networks, Tempconn for real-time temperature monitoring, and Hypeconn, a joint venture for digital pest and hygiene management. By May 2024, the company was monitoring data from over 15,000 heating systems across Germany.
