Realizing kick-ass ideas.

Hey! We are Niko & Max, the two minds behind Ideen-Butze — a creative workshop where ideas don't just appear… they actually get built.

Our story starts in 11th grade, when fate (and the seating plan) made us deskmates in German class. While everybody else struggled through poem analyses, we tried out new rap lines and scribbled little copy concepts — basically everything except what was on the curriculum.

After school life took its usual course: we lost contact for years. Then — completely by chance — we ran into each other again. We talked, laughed, caught up and realised the old spark was still there.

A bit later Max recommended Niko as a developer – and suddenly we were sitting next to each other again, this time at bytabo® in Bamberg, building digital products instead of classroom rap lines. And it clicked immediately.

That's how Ideen-Butze was born: a place where our “Hey, what if…?” moments don't get lost in voice messages or on napkins, but turn into real experiments, real products and real value.

That's us – two former deskmates who still create together, just with a slightly better setup this time.
