Ralf Dummel
Angel · Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany · 15 investments in Germany Food and Beverage startups

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.

  • Averia — Averia is focused on geotechnical and environmental engineering. The company supports businesses in geotechnical engineering, hydrogeology, environmental technology.
  • AssistMe — With a smart, adaptive and automated form of data processing and preparation, alea opens the way for future-proof, digitally supported everyday care. As an initial component of the AssistMe care platform, alea enables a contemporary, efficient care data culture for future intersectoral, networked processes and digitally supported teamwork. In theend, the aim is to effectively support care in times of a shortage of skilled workers through more self-determined content transparency - with complete personal autonomy and freedom of action and less redundancy & stress.Elderly Care will struggle in the next 10 years due to an increasing ageing population, fewer caregivers, more workload, stress, and manual documentation. All of that is a problem for the well-being of those in need of care. Furthermore, the incontinence management means large time and material expenses for caregivers. With the joint system, both companies can equip over 80 % of care recipients in care homes. An initial scientific study proved that the system could save 23 % of adult diapers and time while changing them. Together with significantly fewer leakages, the caregiver can reinvest the time gained in even higher quality care work. This ultimately has the potential to benefit care recipients in terms of quality of sleep and life. Digital functions for optimized care processesWith a very new smart sensor strip, we made leading quality adult diaper brands compatible with the digital possibilities of intelligent care technology of alea. The system reveals where care needs exist, but are not immediately visible, e.g. the urine status in the adult diaper which previously was not known until manually checked. The system transforms this initially hidden care and health data and converts it into digital, structured, immediately understandable real-time information for elderly care and its relevant stakeholders. All functionalities are based on the device alea sensor clip on smart Diaper products, which can be attached and changed in seconds. With just one quick click, caregivers turn the smart diaper into a ready-to-use digital care assistance system. With an optimal sensor position in the centre of the adult diaper and without direct skin contact. The alea hardware can generate highly valid information and make it available to care staff in real time through the mobile and web apps. The care-relevant information of alea includes the amount of urine, movements in the care bed for effective pressure ulcer prevention, fall detection and zone management. How caregivers, care homes & care recipients benefitOver 80 % of care home residents suffer from incontinence. This is a major challenge for everyone involved. The smart system solves issues for all care related audiences: Care recipients benefit from less time in full incontinence pads, but also benefit from fewer manual visual checks during bedtimes. In addition, there is a higher level of safety and prevention. By reducing time-consuming routine and visual checks on an as-needed basis. Caregivers can invest the time gained in other important or relevant care tasks. In this way, they can increase their self-determination in their work and thus their job satisfaction. Thanks to the significant savings in materials and costs, care home operators gain more planning security and can focus their business value creation even better on direct care for people in need of care. In this way, care homes can position themselves as more attractive employers for care staff because they have state-of-the-art digital equipment.With the Care. For the Care. The solution was developed and tested together with the care practice. With the IoT and future-proof platform approach, caregivers will benefit from additional functions in an established and accepted product setting. The system can be connected to various care documentation systems via open interfaces. The aim of the solution is not only to reduce the workload for all those involved in care. Care homes can also optimize teamwork and automate routine processes to support caregivers in the interests of people-centric care in the face of an increasing shortage of skilled staff. With the market entry, care homes can obtain information and order from us or one of our partners. While they order smart Diapers from our partners in the unit price context they are used to, alea Digital System comes as a software-as-a-service model. Without any additional initial costs, they can use all functions via personally provided hardware and software for each care recipient – for the most cost-efficient and needs-orientated use.
