HIVE SYSTEMS - Key Persons


Dr Peter Pinzinger

Job Titles:
  • Financial Strategy Advisor
Dr. Pinzinger Corporate Finance stands for the valuation of medium-sized companies in all phases of the company life cycle, especially during foundation, financing and succession. Our consulting approach is strictly value-oriented. Especially companies that are at the beginning of a promising path, we sensitise for an efficient use of the resources at their disposal, lean corporate structures, unconditional cost flexibility and the long-term added value of a broad view. The business model of HIVE Systems GmbH is convincing from the point of view of risk control as well as from the point of view of multiple opportunities for long-term value-oriented corporate growth. Well-proven methods of aerospace technology enter into a promising symbiosis with the possibilities of the Internet of Things, which appears in novel, practically fully automated security services. The isolated coexistence of honeycomb, drone, battery exchange system, data acquisition and data processing, as well as the visionary combination of these elements, allow for a modular approach and a strict focus on core competencies. The very pleasing development of the company and the lively customer interest, also and in particular from the sector of private and public infrastructure companies, herald a great future, which is already casting its shadow dimly ahead today: In its highest level of integration, the HIVE system promises to open up and make usable areas of the data and risk map that were previously thought to be permanently white for cost reasons, be it for the optimisation of production processes, be it for the provision of temporary services, be it as part of the infrastructure itself. The sky is the limit for conceivable applications, in the true sense of the word. The committed team around the two founders Tristan Scheler and Jan Suk follows this ambitious mission statement day after day, courageous step, determined action and far-sighted view, but above all consistently value-oriented.

Dr. Axel Brunn - Founder

Job Titles:
  • Founder
  • Strategy and Communication
I am a serial founder, business angel, advisor and business consultant believing in growth by creating, learning, exploring, persevering and foremost by helping others. As an early-stage investor and advisor, I have the privilege of seeing and evaluating new venture ideas on a daily basis. A clear selection strategy is therefore a fundamental prerequisite for sustainable portfolio success. My selection strategy is based on three key factors: the existence of sustainable value potential, a stringent business model/plan that shows how this potential can be achieved, and an experienced, field-tested founding team. With HIVE, it was quickly clear to me that this was an exceptional venture that immediately excited me in each of these dimensions. HIVE's positioning as a cross-application base-layer ecosystem for the commercialized use of autonomous drone systems offers a unique opportunity: HIVE is a true first mover in the highly attractive market segment and megatrend of autonomous drones. The system has the potential to automate labor-intensive, repetitive and error-prone tasks across a wide range of industries and use cases. During his doctorate on the topic of "Complexity Management in After-Sales Service" at the Research Institute of Corporate Management, Logistics & Production at the Technical University of Munich, Dr. Axel Brunn supervises and leads numerous research projects in the areas of product, service & process optimization in manufacturing companies in various industries. In 2009 he continues his career as a management consultant with a focus on manufacturing companies. His project activities include the cost optimization of a new product line of an industrial robot manufacturer, the cost and process optimization in the productive area of a wind turbine manufacturer, the assembly optimization of a conveyor technology manufacturer as well as the successful turnaround of an open die forge. AW Brunn International GmbH (AWBI for short), founded in 2006 together with his father, Dr. Wolfgang Brunn, serves to expand the already existing consulting business with a new focus of activity:
