Ralf Dummel, born on 02.12.1966 in Bad Segeberg in Germany, started his career on 01.04.1988 at DS Produkte as a sales assistant to the then founder. Over the years he learned the business from the ground and took full responsibility for purchases and sales after only a year. He vastly participated in the establishment of the company and has been apartner since 1996. Today, the group has an annual turnover of ca. € 250 000 000, 400 employees, and more than 4 000 products in its portfolio. He often travels the world to visit suppliers and customers, and to find inspiration in new innovative products. Dümmel knows Asia inside out, but Northern Germany is the place he calls home. Since 2016 he takes part in the TV program “Die Höhle der Löwen” (literally: The Lions’ Cave, German version of Dragons’ Den on German TV channel VOX ) where he plays one of the “lions”, looking for young entrepreneurs with brilliant products.Ralf Dummel is very convincing with his genuine and appreciative style. From day one, Ralf Dümmel brightened up the surroundings, thanks to his enthusiasm for business and for new products. He has a unique sense for trends and products; he can market them with more success than hardly anyone else. He proudly claims that there hardly is any household without a “DS product” in Germany. Dümmel is often on the road for professional reasons, and when he sees that a customer adds a DS product in their shopping cart, he feels the same tingle of joy after 28 years that he felt in the early days. The 400 employees are Dümmels’s most important asset. They actively take part in the company, invest themselves in it, and help it develop further. Dummel is very proud that the DS products are the result of such a varied cast of people and skill sets. These are people with different personalities and talents that complement each other in a cooperation shaping always innovative business and product ideas.

In just four years, German consumers have used kaufDA to actively open more than 5 billion digital circulars, with kaufDA continuously providing the latest information on more than 247,000 retail outlets in Germany.From Germany, Christian went on to launch the kaufDA concept as Ofertia in Spain, Bonial in France, Lokata in Russia, Guiato in Brazil and Retale in the United States. In 2012, the company was branded as Bonial International Group globally. Since the birth of kaufDA in 2008, Christian and his team have successfully serviced 600 retailers and 12 million consumers.

Having sold companies to Google and eBay, taken one company public, and started an investment company (Redstone), Brehm has had the right instinct for future trends and has built multiple businesses to disrupt the status quo.During the early 2000s, he was Executive Directorand Investor at the social network startup VZ-Netzwerke, as well as co-founder of Rebate Networks, which became one of the two largest global e-commerce platforms, positioning Brehm as an expert at not only seeing but also driving a business, during significant global market transitions.One of his more recent ventures is i2x. Since 2017, Brehm has been the Founder and Managing Director of i2x, an artificial intelligence startup based in Berlin. Together with his team, Brehm is working on solving a problem that he repeatedly faced in his career: ensuring quality and delivering unprecedented customer satisfaction during every sales and service call. i2x helps companies deliver actionable insights from every customer phone call in real-time using its custom-developed voice recognition technology and AI algorithms. i2x automatically generates personalized coaching for the user that is tailored to both their speaking style and their business priorities to drive immediate results in sales and service conversations.After spending two years in stealth mode, i2x secured a €5 million seed round of financing in 2018. In 2019, i2x received €10 million as fresh capital in a Series A funding. The Berlin-based start-up is now entering additional markets and further innovating their speech analysis solution to optimize human communication and transform every customer-company relationship.Currently, Michael Brehm is back in his role as Founding Partner at Redstone, one of the most active early-stage investors in Europe.
