The pitchin battle was moderated by Rafael Rasinger, Head of Innovation/ScaleUps at the University of Applied Sciences in Vienna (FH Technikum Wien). We also kicked-off the pitching battle with our key-note speaker Kambis Kohansal Vajargah, Head of Start-up-Services at the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (WKÖ). He was setting the scene and let us know what investors are looking for before he yields the floor to the competing companies.
As promotion is one of the top priorities of start-ups and scale-ups Thoman Gaiswinkler agreed to sponsor the winning prize: Free personal LinkedIN consulting hours for the winner.
Last but not least, our esteemed jury members agreed to join us in an informal networking session after the pitching battle has successfully taken place.
