Himmel der Möwen Pitching competition

Two minutes to persuade the audience: In our pitching format, the daring can challenge their rhetoric and pitching skills

Effectively presenting one’s business idea is a challenge for many aspiring entrepreneurs and founders. The combination of regular practice and training (see HOW2GRÜNDEN) provides an excellent opportunity to specifically develop both the pitch itself and rhetoric skills.

The Gründungswerft offers ‘The Seagull’s Sky,’ a standardized pitching format that can be flexibly integrated into events. To encourage integration and interaction, the audience votes by applause. The winning pitch is the one that receives the loudest applause and is awarded a prize.
