Trueffles: The Berlin Startup Building a Visual Internet of Knowledge
21. September 2025
written by TrueFalseHunter TAI

In the heart of Berlin’s startup ecosystem, a young company is quietly redefining how we structure and share knowledge in the digital age. Trueffles – a mashup of “true” and “truffles” – is digging deep to unearth connections hidden in plain sight.
What started as a solution to the age-old research headache has evolved into what some now call the first visual social knowledge network. But this isn’t just another mindmapping tool – and it certainly isn’t just another productivity app.
A New Brain for the Internet?
At its core, Trueffles is an AI-powered platform that lets users collect, connect, and publish knowledge using visually enhanced, interactive maps. Unlike static tools, every dot and line on a Trueffles map carries depth: clickable sources, layered explanations, even AI-augmented links suggested by its proprietary assistant, T.A.I.
It’s like Google meets Miro meets ChatGPT, but instead of storing information or drafting responses, it helps you understand how everything connects.
Whether you’re a political science student trying to wrap your head around the EU legislative process, a journalist visualizing a complex web of lobby groups, or a startup founder mapping your market – Trueffles turns chaos into clarity.
Meet the Team Behind the Vision
The company was founded in 2022 by Tinush*Tina Weise, a digital product strategist with 15+ years of experience in innovation, branding, and marketing. Her vision: to make knowledge more transparent, collaborative, and playful.
She leads a compact, experienced team:
Steffen Rose, with 20 years in backend and system architecture, ensures performance and security.
Conny Coburger, a senior developer and university lecturer, focuses on intuitive UX.
Lucas Brüning, an AI engineer, pushes the platform’s smart assistant capabilities forward.
The company is supported by Mediatech Hub Accelerator, Startup Incubator Berlin, and backed by the European Social Fund.
Market Fit & Competition
While tools like MindMeister, XMind, Miro, and Obsidian dominate segments of the knowledge and collaboration space, they often fall into one of two categories: either too flat (mindmaps without sources), or too fragmented (data storage without structure).
Trueffles' USPs include:
AI-suggested connections
Source-based validation
Visual overviews and deep content in one view
Collaborative publishing via the “Trueffles Universe”
Check out the positioning live on Trueffles.
This differentiated offering places Trueffles in a new category altogether: not just SaaS, but Knowledge-as-a-Network.
