About Tiggy
Better access to tools. More value from what we already own.
Tiggy is a founder-led marketplace that helps people rent tools from local owners—and helps owners earn from equipment that would otherwise sit unused.
Our beginning
A real problem. A practical response.
The idea for Tiggy began during a particularly cold winter, when co-founder Marco Odehnal’s heating system failed. Finding the right support and resources quickly proved far more difficult than it should have been. Marco brought the idea to his cousin Gerald Kummerow. Together they founded CloverTree Technologies and began turning that experience into a platform that makes local resources easier to access and use.
What we are building
More than a digital noticeboard
Tiggy supports the rental journey from discovery to return. The experience is designed so both sides understand what happens next and important steps remain traceable.
For owners
List equipment, organise availability and handovers, manage requests and earn from tools they already own.
For communities
Put existing equipment to better use, strengthen local connections and enable projects without requiring every tool to be purchased.
Academic collaboration
A business model shaped with students from LMU Munich
During the 2026 summer semester, Tiggy participated as a partner company in LMU Munich’s Business Modelling program. A committed student team worked closely with us and developed essential foundations of our business model. The collaboration brought structured analysis, fresh perspectives and the discipline to challenge our own assumptions.
Market and user research
The students examined the market, target groups and practical needs on both sides of the marketplace.
Pricing and financial model
Together we structured and developed the pricing logic, revenue model and underlying financial assumptions.
Go-to-market strategy
Their work helped clarify our market entry, positioning and first steps towards sustainable growth.
Founder-led
Technology and business accountability belong together
Tiggy is developed and operated in Munich by CloverTree Technologies UG (haftungsbeschränkt). Gerald and Marco remain directly involved in the product, technology, operations and user experience.
Gerald Kummerow
Co-founder and the older cousin. Gerald is an experienced manager who has worked on business-critical projects. As CEO, he leads strategy, business development and the disciplined growth of the company.
Marco Odehnal
Co-founder and the younger cousin. Marco is a software developer with a background in mathematics. As CTO, he leads product architecture, technical execution and the secure evolution of the platform.
How we build
Trust before speed. Substance before show.
We are building Tiggy for the long term: with clear processes, responsible marketplace rules and technology that solves a real problem. We listen to users, test assumptions and strengthen the platform before taking the next step in growth. Our goal is a dependable business that creates lasting value for owners, renters and their local communities.
A tool can do more than sit on a shelf.
Whether you own equipment that could be used more often or need the right tool for your next project, you can help shape Tiggy from the beginning.
