He left Gorillas at the end of last year, i.e. since the sale to competitor Getir. Now Kagan Sümer is already in the starting blocks with the next company, this time in the health sector. The fact that he is planning something has long been known in the scene. Now it is also known which concrete new idea he wants to start with after the 10-minute deliveries: Sümer wants to set up a blood test startup under the name Mirror, like the portal Deutsche Startups first reported.
What exactly is it all about? Gründerszene was able to see the pitch deck, with which the two entrepreneurs are currently looking for investors, spoke to insiders – and to Kagan Sümer himself.
In an interview with Gründerszene, the 35-year-old confirms the rumors about Mirror: “We are building a platform that will be good for the German healthcare system,” he says. How exactly this platform should look like, Sümer does not want to comment specifically. Its co-founder this time is Ugur Samut. The two have known each other for many years, Samut also helped the Gorillas founder to set up the multi-billion dollar delivery service.
According to the deck, which is currently circulating among VC investors, their new venture Mirror should generate initial sales with blood tests. But the vision of the company is larger. As can be seen from the company presentation, everything at Mirror is under the keyword “Longevity”, i.e. longevity. A hype topic, especially in the start-up scene in the USA. Many founders try to “hack” their health on a personal level and become even more productive, fitter and more enduring with the help of their diet, apps and tracking devices.
