FAMILY FLOW

Saarbrücken / Homburg, Saarland, Germany | Remote | Fulltime | Digital Health (DiGA)

About Family Flow

Family Flow is a scientifically grounded, trauma-sensitive parenting app that helps parents with their own history of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) manage the moment between a trigger and their reaction to their child — building a personalized 'Flow Plan' (trigger → warning signs → pause → skill → parenting strategy) instead of another generic parenting app.

The opportunity

The concept is built on more than 20 years1 of clinical and scientific work on child maltreatment led by Prof. Dr. med. Eva Möhler, Chair of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Saarland University, alongside DFKI researchers Patrick Gebhard and Jan Alexandersson. The idea and clinical content are finalized — what's missing is the team and funding to build and launch the app. We are looking for a CEO / Business co-founder (fundraising, tech and operations) to turn a validated clinical concept into a real product.

Tasks

What you will own

Company build-up & fundraising

- Lead incorporation of Family Flow and raise the funding needed for app development (German, French and English versions).

- Own the path to the German DiGA directory (digital health app reimbursement) and the parallel free-market / B2C launch.

Product & delivery

- Translate the finalized clinical concept and psychotherapeutic material into a software roadmap, in partnership with a tech/development team or subcontractor (e.g. potential partnerships with Pioneo, Pfeffermind or Charamel).

- Own day-to-day operations, as the current interdisciplinary team (DFKI + Child and Adolescent Psychiatry) is part-time only.

Go-to-market

- Build the launch plan for Germany and France, then wider Europe, including social-media-led B2C acquisition alongside the DiGA pathway.

Requirements

What you bring

Core experience

- Fundraising experience (grants and/or investors) and comfort building a company from an academic/clinical concept.

- Hands-on operations and project management skills; willingness to work full-time (the current founding team is part-time).

Especially valuable

- Experience with the digital health / DiGA regulatory pathway in Germany.

- Software/product background, or strong ability to manage external development partners.

- Interest in child psychiatry, trauma-informed care or parenting technology.

Benefits

Why join Family Flow

- A clinically validated concept backed by 20+ years2 of research and a published evidence base, not an unproven idea.

- Direct partnership with a University Professor and Chair of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Saarland University.

- Address a problem estimated to cost society €20 billion in Germany alone (Deutsche Traumafolgekostenstudie), with a clear DiGA reimbursement path.

Family Flow welcomes co-founder candidates regardless of gender, age, ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, sexual identity, or any other characteristic. This is a search for the right partner to build the company with, not a conventional hire.

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 20 points (from 61 before penalties). Reviewed 23 Sep 2026.
