Unterf hring, May 9, 2022. Once again this year, the SevenVentures Pitch Day offers young companies a platform and the chance to gain sustainable advertising power. According to Forbes Magazine, the start-up competition is one of the most important in the world. It offers the winners the prospect of one of the most lucrative prizes in the start-up scene: media services for a full-video campaign worth EUR 3 million. In addition, the winning company will receive an extensive budget for the production of its own TV spot. Young companies can now apply for this years competition at www.sevencommerceandventures.com/pitchday.
Innovative start-ups with consumer-oriented products and services have a chance to win. In addition, the companies should already be in a development stage in which they can profit sustainably from the advertising power of a moving image campaign and thus quickly scale their business model for a broad market. The competition, which this year takes place under the motto Boost Your Brand, is primarily aimed at German B2C growth companies that want to gain a foothold in the domestic market, as well as international companies that are about to expand into the German-speaking region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). The application phase runs until June 5, 2022.
Florian Weber, Managing Director and Chief Commercial Officer, Seven-Ventures: As a well-established event among start-up competitions, the SevenVentures Pitch Day enables the winners to launch their own TV and digital campaign worth millions - a growth driver and success factor in the scaling phase of young companies. After all, TV advertising can decisively leverage the reach and awareness of a brand - and thus become a crucial advantage for asserting oneself in the respective market environment. I am delighted that the SevenVentures Pitch Day will again take place this year as a high-quality live streaming event. I am excited to see what strong pitches from committed and ambitious entrepreneurs await us.
Nina Kaiser, Managing Director of ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 & Co-Founder of the 4GAMECHANGERS Festival: With the SevenVentures Pitch Day, the ideas and visions of the current start-up scene are once again in the spotlight and we would like to actively support this in the spirit of our motto The Power of Cooperation. We are looking forward to not only offering this event a digital, cross-border stage as part of our 4GAMECHANGERS Festival in 2022, but also to welcoming the pitchers live to our studio in the Media Quarter Marx in Vienna for the grand final show on PULS 24.

As in the previous year, the SevenVentures Pitch Day will be hosted by ProSieben presenter Steven G tjen.
