Kolibri started at a dinner.
But it began long before that.
In 2025, Florian had just started his MBA. One evening over dinner,
he explained to Daniela some concepts he found particularly useful:
how companies truly understand their costs, how they track their materials,
how they make decisions based on data rather than gut feeling.
Daniela listened and connected the dots immediately:
"That's exactly what's missing in dental clinics."
She was working at a practice in Germany. The inventory system
was a piece of paper taped to the wall. Nobody knew the real cost
of each treatment, or which materials ran out first. In Chile,
where Daniela had studied and started her career, cost management
wasn't much different — supplies were bought on intuition, with no plan behind it.
It wasn't the first time Florian had seen this problem. Years earlier,
when Daniela had just started working as a dentist, he'd built her
a first tool to track her income and expenses — the controller in him
coming through. It worked. And it made clear that the gap was real.
Florian knew the world of costs from the inside: he'd lived in Chile
for nearly a decade, starting his career in financial controlling for
a global-scale German company, then moving into IT — leading enterprise
system implementations across multiple countries. What he learned along
the way is something few organizations want to hear:
while everyone celebrates revenue, costs sit quietly in the background,
eroding the margin.
That's what Kolibri brings to dental clinics — for the first time,
seeing both sides of the equation.
That conversation ended with a decision:
build the tool neither of them had been able to find.
