Participation

To participate send your one-pager to: team at betapitch dot de. All data will be treated confidentially and not passed on without your approval. We are open to all ideas, but there are 3 important points to consider:

1. The aim is to make profit (no non-profit organisations, initiatives etc..)

2. We are particularly interested in technology-based companies.

3. Social businesses are very welcome, too.

6 months betahaus

Each winning team (6 members max.) of will get free bethaus desks for 6 months from 4 October on. During the weeks to come, we are going to choose the jury’s members and keep you informed here and by twitter (twitter.com/betapitch).

If you have any questions, please contact us: team at betapitch dot de.

You have been told that the betahaus is in „incubpertity“. More and more desks are being rented to start-ups and that’s what we want to promote.

That’s why we (Christoph and Madeleine from betahaus,  Hans from Palomar5 and Anna from Groupon) have given life to Betapitch. End of September, we want to invite start-ups from all over Germany to see us in betahaus locations in Berlin, Hamburg and possibly Cologne, too, for a pitching competition. The Time has come to promote entrepreneurial personalitites who have cool ideas – and we are looking for those! For each city, you can win a 6-month-betahaus all inclusive package.

We are just on the brink toin starting our plannings. During the next months to come, we are going to intensify our contacts with mentors and investors to build up an excellent jury and to  offer a long-term accompanying service for start-ups supported by a great network.

Keep yourselves uptodate here. We welcome any input from your part: team at betapitch dot de.
