Stuff you never asked about slugs

​As the end of her biology studies was near, Nadine Sydow discovered a combination of harmless substances with a brand new property: Sluxagon© is a pesticide-free, anti-adhesive painting against slugs and snails. By the use of a conventional brush, any pottery, raised flower bed or edge may become an ecological barriere and thus create a safe place to grow even the most delicious plants and flowers. 
Since she didn´t want to leave her discovery to an uncertain future, Nadine decided to found a start-up and make this a real product for DIY-stores. But the road to success led her through a maze of obstacles, and it took her quite a few miracles, lucky opportunities, failures and soft skills to convince with an alternative method to simple poisoning these animals. An unusual founder story that even made it to the German version of the popular TV-format “Shark Tank”, told without any seriousness but lots of excitement.
