Reeperbahn Startup Pitch 2019 - Reeperbahn Startup Pitch

On November 7th, for the seventh time, the biggest startup competition in the North will bring young, innovative companies from all over the world to Hamburg’s cool mile. In the sophisticated Mojo Club they will meet around 800 guests, including investors, corporates and stars of the digital and media industry. The winning team will secure an unforgettable trip to the SXSW Festival 2020 with an extensive program, pitch opportunities and valuable contacts. This is made possible by the cooperation of Hamburg Startups and SXSW.

Two ways lead to the Reeperbahn Startup Pitch. At the me Convention (collaboration of Mercedes-Benz and SXSW) in Frankfurt, a first-class jury will choose the first finalist. Our top-class advisory board will select four further candidates who will be able to live out their rock star qualities on the stage of the Mojo Club. The pitch is rounded off by an extensive supporting programme with a startup stage, master classes, workshops, an investor dinner and an awesome after-show party.
