Our name Grubengold relates back to the mining roots of Germany’s Ruhr Valley, which our team of ~15 business hippies calls home.
Grubengold, when translated directly, is ‘mined gold’, although we are more about ‘mind gold’, as we help those ideas glimmering in your mind blossom into purposeful and profitable businesses.
Based in Bochum, Germany, we embrace the honest, humble and hardworking mindset of the area, but as a group of innovators, designers and thinkers, we also burst with creativity to help make the world a happier place.
Most importantly, we do what we do, with a whole load of heart and compassion for the individuals we work with. We see it as a privilege to accompany you on your journey!
Our commitment to be a sustainable company ourselves is woven throughout our DNA. We are of course CO2 neutral, as well as a pending B Corp, which means we conduct reoccurring, in depth sustainability audits to assess all aspects of the business and ensure we are serving ALL our stakeholders, including the environment, in the most positive way. We sincerely believe in business for good, meaning: PEOPLE, PURPOSE & PROFIT.
We support by helping you to turn your ideas into sustainable innovations. For us this means three things:
Regardless of the sector you are in, we can help you at any stage of the innovation or (pre)launch process to test and ensure your concepts are clear, purpose is defined, and that your product or service relates to market needs.
The support we offer is based on extensive experience in the world of innovation, paired with creative tools and methods, as well as a genuine drive to make the world a happier place.
With a population of 83 million, Germany is the largest European market, the worlds 4th largest economy, and in 2020 ranked the most innovative economy. Consumers here are highly educated, well informed and always on the lookout for the latest pioneering products and services.

Worldwide Germans are known for their directness – yes we absolutely have that trait but it’s what we call honesty, which we believe is mission-critical in order to launch successful ventures.
As mentioned, Grubengold is located in the heart of the Ruhr Valley region with its long history of industry and mining. Back then the locals, so-called ‘Kumpels’ (translates to ‘miner’ and also ‘mates’), were known for their brutal honestly, as well as good humour. We certainly have that mentality rooted in how we work, but most importantly, we do what we do with heart too!
Honesty with Humour & Heart!
