Don’t settle for anything less than passion and profit.

What to expect.

Your Startup is given the unique opportunity to receive the often much needed financial resources to make a great idea work. Entrepreneurs can pitch in front of a jury and win a funding for their company.

We strongly believe that innovative business models should be supported and that’s exactly why we came up with the idea of a SocialPitch. As a matter of fact we even host the biggest SocialPitch in Germany, something we are definitely very proud of.

How to Apply?

It doesn’t take a whole lot to apply whilst the rewards can be huge.
At first download the Application Template and fill it out.
Afterwards, complete the online application form, attach the filled out template and – if you want to – also include other PDF presentations or even a business plan of your company.
Everything has to be sent in until no later than the 1st of March 2015.
