Bling wins Frankfurt Spring 2025
The Berlin-based startup Bling Services impressed the jury of the Marketing Club Frankfurt and won the startup prize, worth over 100,000 euros. The fintech company helps families build financial literacy.
The Frankfurter Sprungfeder 2025 was awarded yesterday at the IHK Frankfurt am Main / Deutsche Börse AG. Out of 137 applications, five start-ups made it to the final: Bling Services, Bloomwell, fabel.care, Rock my Sleep and WeSort.ai. The Berlin start-up Bling Services secured victory.
Founded in 2021 by Leon Stephan and Nils Feigenwinter, the company supports families and children in particular in building financial literacy at an early age. The six-member expert jury, consisting of Alicja Feltens (Feltens Consulting), Angelika Neumann (Vielsinn), Dr. Marco Adelt (Loyago), Andreas Lukic (Business Angels Frankfurt Rhein Main), Marco Buschmeier (Dr. Beckmann Group) and Dr. Christian Loefert (T-Systems International), particularly praised the educational aspect of the business model.
"Bling closes a real educational gap in the country and helps families make money-smart decisions," said the jury, summarizing its decision. The winner will receive a package worth over 100,000 euros, consisting of a media package in city advertising as well as coaching programs in the areas of online marketing strategy and legal advisory.
The Frankfurter Sprungfeder has been awarded by the Marketing Club Frankfurt since 2015 and is one of the best endowed start-up prizes in Germany. "The record number of almost 140 applicants shows that the Frankfurter Sprungfeder has become the most coveted prize in the start-up scene in Germany," says Jens Klemann, Managing Director of the Strateco Group and leading advisory board member of the Frankfurter Sprungfeder team.
