THE PITCH CLUB
EVENT

The Pitch Club is now the most successful pitch event in the Rhine-Main Region. Of the companies that have participated to date, over 40% have received financing – either directly or indirectly through the investors participating in the Pitch Club. In total, well over 25 million euros in funding has already been brokered via the Pitch Club. This testifies to the very high quality of the participants – both on the startup and the investor side.

BENEFITS AS AN INVESTOR

1. Qualified and pre-selected deal flow

All startups participating in the Pitch Club are selected by a team consisting of experienced experts from different fields. Care is always taken to ensure that only startups with the most attractive risk/reward ratio possible present their company at the event. This means that all companies go through a tough selection process and only those are admitted to the pitch that have at least an initial “proof of concept” and initial “traction”. This ensures that you, as an investor, only see exciting business cases.

2. Opportunity to syndicate deals

As an investor, you can invest in attractive deals together with other Pitch Club investors on a syndicated basis and thus take a relevant position in the “cap table”. You benefit from the experience and joint expertise of the various experts in the syndicate. Through an expert network with leading personalities from industry, academia and investment professionals, the factors critical to success are influenced extremely positively. As a result, you create attractive structuring opportunities and minimise the risk of failure.

3. Closed Shop Event

The Pitch Club is a closed shop event. This means that we only “admit” those investors who have demonstrably invested in the past and also have a clear investment intention. As a Pitch Club participant, you can therefore always be sure that you are among “like-minded” investors.
