Start-up Competitions
Founder competitions offer a great opportunity for start-ups of all development stages to present themselves and their innovative technology to a broad public. At the same time, potential prize money offers another source of funding for your own start-up. Last but not least, the product and company pitch can be used to practice and expand one's own presentation techniques, and the often valuable feedback from the jury can be used to optimize one's own product.
With over 150 start-up competitions in Germany every year, it is not always easy for founders and start-ups to identify the right competitions for them. Not every start-up competition is suitable for every founder, as most competitions address a specific target group. They can be roughly sorted by phase, region and industry.
