This founder is on the verge of a breakthrough — because he taught himself programming at the age of 12. Even more impressive: Florian Scherl founded the tech startup explaino at just 18 years old — while still in school. Today, he is turning it into a success story.

He and his team are developing an AI-based SaaS solution that enables the decentralized and automated transfer of knowledge within companies. Having founded a company at such a young age, he has had to overcome countless stereotypes and prejudices to be taken seriously — but he never let that hold him back. On the contrary:

• Winner of several startup competitions, including the STARTUP TEENS Award
• A team of ten, even in the early stages
• 30+ B2B customers already using their solutionEWOR on board as an investor and sparring partner

The gate Garching has proudly supported gate-startup explaino on its journey since 2025.
