Martha Sanchez won the first Schongau start-up competition.
Their business and financial plan for mobile aroma care convinced the five-person jury.
Sabine Glogger-Kaiser's creativity was also rewarded; she came in second place with her concept for the “StopArts” store.
Schongau
- The “Healthy Companies Forum” announced the first start-up competition for the city together with the Association of the Self-Employed.
Under the title “Dreamstart4U”, people with ideas for starting a company were invited to apply.
By the way: Everything from the region is also available in our regular Schongau newsletter.
And in our Weilheim-Penzberg newsletter.
Mayor Falk Sluyterman and Daniela Puzzovio, in this case in the dual role of deputy mayor and member of the “Healthy Company Forum”, were able to welcome four applicants who presented themselves and their plans and answered the jury's critical questions.
Everything except 08/15
Sabine Glogger-Kaiser has been known to residents and visitors of the old town since “StopArts” moved to Münzstrasse.
She presented the jury with a selection of self-made pieces of various kinds, but always under the motto “Everything but run-of-the-mill”.

An explorer stuffed toy for small children or Alzheimer's patients was included, as were earrings made from turtle horn plates and their best seller: homemade bread and butter spice.
Creative place for children and adults
Her shop is already a meeting place for a group of women who knit for good causes, asylum seekers who practice conversation and - in collaboration with Beatrix Amberg - a creative place for children and, in the future, adults too.

The jury liked what Glogger-Kaiser had already achieved, “an enrichment for the old town,” said Florian Raab.
The jury saw “great potential”.
The woman from Schongau receives a consultation package worth 2,000 euros.
Contemporary and innovative
Coaching and support worth 4,000 euros in setting up her “mobile aroma care” is now available to Martha Sanchez: She won the first Schongau start-up competition and received much applause for her commitment.
Daniela Puzzovio explicitly praised the “very contemporary and innovative concept”.
Excited about the ideas: Daniela Puzzovio and Falk Sluyterman.

The Peitinger is a trained geriatric nurse, geriatric psychiatric specialist and already an aroma therapist.
She had brought various herbs with her to the town hall: olive oil with rosemary, sunflower oil with thyme, eucalyptus leaves and chamomile flowers.
Full or partial body massages with various aromatic products would have a healing effect - promote a good mood, but could also help in coping with trauma and alleviate negative memories.
Also mini practice in financial planning
“Many people's bodies are under a lot of strain from taking medication; aromatic care can help avoid or at least reduce medication,” says Sanchez.
The therapist named older people as the target group, whom she would then visit in their usual rooms.
But she also included the renting of a mini-practice in her financial plan.
Alexander Klein came up with the idea of doing something for Schongau's old town, its residents and new residents, regardless of their nationality.
One in five people in Schongau does not have a German passport, but instead has skills.
The Schongau artist would like to use and promote this “know-how” – and, similar to what “Asyl im Oberland” just suggested, open up a space for encounters.
Cooking and eating together, including various activities, could bring everyone together, perhaps even connecting the past with the present.
“Recognition and communication lead to better integration,” Klein is convinced.
Putting ideas into the world
Even though the idea was praised by the jury, there was “nothing tangible” to implement it; Klein was still at the conception stage.
“I want to stand up for those working in the arts, it doesn’t always have to be a fully developed plan, sometimes you have to put ideas into the world,” said location promoter Tina Birke.
Ultimately, Klein did not prevail, nor did Romana Meßmer, who, with her specialist knowledge in human resources management and as a business mediator, would like to support companies in making better use of their own human resources and combating the shortage of skilled workers through satisfied employees - as a neutral, external HR manager and consultant.
The woman from Schongau had submitted “fantastic documents,” as Raab praised.
“The idea captures the zeitgeist.”
The local newspapers in the Weilheim-Schongau district are represented on Instagram under “merkur_wm_sog”.
Sanchez and Glogger-Kaiser were chosen because they would bring “added value to Schongau’s old town,” says Puzzovio.
