Pitch Training

Again and again we are confronted with the situation that we are asked to present our idea in the form of a pitch and each time we prepare ourselves for such a presentation. Of course, we always give each other feedback and tips, because this is the only way we can improve.

Providing mutual feedback is important and we will never stop giving it, but we still take it as a change of perspective when we suddenly get the chance to take part in a professional pitch training course organised exclusively for us.

Award ceremony changes.Award 2019

After the beautiful final of the changes.AWARD there was of course also the award ceremony. Not only all the others were curious who had taken the first three places, but of course we as well, because we could not decide the final result of the jury. On Sunday the park festival Cromfort started at 11am and the 12 teams had the chance to present their ideas as attractive as possible for the visitors. The effort was not only for the beautiful design of the park festival, but also for a prize, the spectator prize, which was rewarded with tickets for the Mitsubishi Electric hall.

Kick-off-Event: STARTPLATZ

The kick-off event of the STARTPLATZ Accelerator Program took place on February 5th and 6th in Cologne. On the first day the event started with an introduction and welcome, where we were informed about the next steps and the program of these two days. Afterwards we got together in a typical “Speed-dating” position and got to know the other start-ups. The routine of exchange and writing a One Sentence Pitch for the other start-up was always the same. Obviously we had a little advantage, because of our manpower. Besides we got to know many very interesting ideas and were surprised about the know-how of the others.
