The Founder
In this interview, we talk to Friedrich von Jagow (https://www.linkedin.com/in/friedrich-von-jagow-9778bbb8/), a lawyer by training. He also holds a degree (LL.M.) in Law & Economics, since he was always interested in economics. During his training as a lawyer, he also chooses a station at the German Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, China. After his final examination, he started with Wirecard but then left to set up his own company. This company turned out to be Commnex, the idea which he has developed with a friend and a professor over a glass of wine.
The Startup
The Munich-based FinTech CommneX (https://www.commnex.de/, https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/commnex-gmbh) established the digital platform as an online-marketplace for the Public Finance market. Public entities such as municipalities, cities, districts, or enterprises such as utility works or public transport may tender their financial needs on CommneX. Banks and other financial partners submit offers and the best match is found. CommneX provides an all-in-one platform for all financial needs from loans and credits to fund deposits of any size and term, saving products, and public subsidy programs.
