Ivyclip founder secures investment offers on ‘Höhle der Löwen’

Leonie Neisinger, a Munich-based entrepreneur, has secured investment offers on the television show ‘Höhle der Löwen’ for her startup, Ivyclip. Her product is a flexible hair clip designed to be more comfortable and durable than traditional accessories.

Neisinger developed the idea after noticing the discomfort of standard clips following the birth of her daughter in early 2025. After prototyping with 3D printing and testing approximately 250 samples, she utilized medical-grade plastic to achieve a balance of stability and softness. The startup, which Neisinger initially funded herself with support from her husband, David Neisinger, seeks the investment to facilitate entry into retail markets.
