The spectacular Rheinland Pitch Winter Finals format is back!
And what a spectacular Rheinland Pitch Winter Finals 2024 it was in KOMED, Cologne!
This year, based on the experience and feedback gathered from doing this for over 10 years now, we mixed it up a little to make it even more interesting for the audience – and to give even more startups the exposure: We decided to try three different categories with three startups pitching in each.
The categories were Sustainability, Generative AI, and Female Entrepreneurship. The finalists were:
Sustainability:
- Beaverdesk
- Innovative Robot Delivery
- Fainin GmbH
Generative AI:
- Panos AI
- Cityscaper
- LABNODE
Female Entrepreneurship:
- KOHO Smart
- Campus Cruiser
- Qizify Learning
And then the startups pitched…
The jury considered each pitches, asked questions… With the Rheinland Pitch finals format we have a panel of expert judges that count for 50% of the weight of the votes together with 50% of the audience.
The audience asked questions…
The audience also voted…
And then it was time for the classic networking break with Currywurst.
Networking is at least half the value of the event.
And it wouldn’t been possible to put on a flawless event without a lot of great helpers!
And the winners were…
Sustainability: Fainin GmbH
Generative AI: LABNODE
Female Entrepreneurship: Qizifi Learning
It’s a wrap! See you in 2024! Stay tuned to https://rheinlandpitch.de
