The grand prize includes a multimillion Euro media package from the ProSiebenSat.1 Group and 30,000 for the creation of a TV spot. The winner will also receive a four-month mentoring program from Flaconi. The prize will allow one winner to reach the mass market through tailored TV advertising.
In the final: Art Night, CHOOOSE, rebike1 and Jodel
Four companies have been selected to present their business model and vision at the ninth 7VPD on September 12th at the DMEXCO in Cologne.
ArtNight is a start-up offering group-based art workshops
CHOOOSE stands for the streamlining of climate action
Jodel offers a social media platform for sharing anonymous posts
rebike1 is an online marketplace for second-hand, premium E-Bikes
Media-for-Equity brings start-ups to the mass market
The SevenVentures Pitch Day is now in its ninth year and has helped multiple organisations break onto the mass market, including Hafervoll, Withings, GetYourGuide and the 2018 winner, Selfapy. The pitch event provides a rapid growth opportunity for the winning B2C start-up with unique products or services and a scalable business model.
The four finalists will compete against each other to win a comprehensive media and service package. The competition will be held in two separate rounds. In the semi-final round, two sets of start-ups will compete against one another for a chance to make it into the finale. First CHOOOSE will take on Jodel, followed by ArtNight against rebike1. The grand finale will feature the two winners of the previous semi-finals.
Joko Winterscheidt returns to the jury for a second time
Each finalist will present their ideas in a short pitch live on stage before a jury comprised of industry stakeholders and category experts. This year SevenVentures CEO Dr. Jens Pippig and Flaconi CFO Kathrin Nusser will be joined by TV presenter, businessman and start-up investor Joko Winterscheidt, who returns to the jury for another year following his 7VPD jury debut in 2017. Steven G tjen will return as the event's presenter.
Dr. Jens Pippig, CEO of SevenVentures: I am looking forward to returning to the DMEXCO, the central meeting place for key decision makers from the digital economy, marketing and innovation sectors in Germany. Once again, this year it was important to focus on high-growth B2C companies and find a mix of physical and digital offerings. I am sure that we can look forward to a very exciting finale!
Kathrin Nusser, CFO of Flaconi: Knowledge increases once it is shared and this is exactly what the pitch day is about. The sharing of knowledge and inspiration and achieving great things with passion - that's what I'm looking forward to.
Dr. Dominik Matyka, Chief Advisor DMEXCO: Innovative young companies are the central focus of the DMEXCO. We are delighted to again offer the SevenVentures Pitch Day a platform in 2019.
