Who is behind Paperize?
This is us: @{gray}Levi Vincent & David@
This is us - when we presented the next generation of digital writing at Europe's largest entrepreneurship event. Sounds pretty cool, right? But as so often happens, it all started differently: In the midst of the chaos of 2020, the three of us had a crazy idea. Not a straight path, but an adventure that got off to a surprisingly good start. We're starting small, but that's exactly what makes it all the fun.
Motivated to @{gray}solve a problem@
When we first used iPads in class in 2020 (yes, we were still students back then), we faced a real problem: Our miserable writing on the iPad just couldn't be saved . After countless failed attempts with so-called paper transparencies, we had had enough. So we did the obvious - we joined forces with a few school friends and founded a student company. And lo and behold, in 2023 we were actually named Germany's best student company . Our mission? To make writing on the iPad so that it finally feels like real paper .

The first reviews
After several months of prototyping, the time had finally come: our first product was there and the first reviews started pouring in! (Back then, PaperX only had one magnetic strip, and it wasn't nearly as strong as it is today 😱). Our customers were still enthusiastic, and the more the numbers rose, the more motivated we became to pursue the whole thing full-time. But then came the high school graduation - and unfortunately many of our customers had to suffer because of it (we still apologize for the long delivery times). It wasn't always easy with Copy 🐈 either, but we are now the largest provider of removable paper films in Germany, regularly appear on TV, and our journey is far from over.
