Janine Weirich

Janine Weirich is co-founder of the startup Xeem.

Through her interdisciplinary studies in „Interactive Media Design“ (Bachelor | Focus: Design Management, IT), she has worked on numerous projects and turned ideas into reality as part of a team. In the process, augmented reality apps, IoT devices and several business plans were created, for example. Even alongside her studies, Janine Weirich had a keen interest in her own self-employment and was always hungry for new challenges. Her absolute favorite project was the joint Bachelor project with Géraldine Ulrichs: „Xeem“.

A bachelor idea became a successful startup!
