the founders at fight night

“The Fight Night was a great opportunity to challenge your startup by your opponent, the jury and the crowd. We would recommend: Only go there if you are well prepared and ready to give (and take) some intensive punches.“ - Jean Michel Diaz - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY “Before the fight, we already identified strength & weaknesses of both Echometer (us) and youdo (our opponent). Obviously, we came to win. And won." #BATTLE – What was the toughest Punch?! “The

“An incredible experience! On one hand the Founders Fight Night is a really great show for the audience. On the other hand, it’s a really stressful and instructive situation, as a participant. As harmless, as the self-presentation is, so intense and tough it is, to attack and get attacked. A good combination of cleverness, charm and wit is on demand. Not easy, but it’s definitely worth it. “ - Patrick Baur - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY “Practicing with my team,

“The Founders Fight Night is the coolest event because it creates a competitive atmosphere and challenges the founders.

Then I was asked if I would like to join, and I spontaneously said yes. The expectation was to get to know a new and interesting format and to introd

„Look If you had One shot Or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted In one moment Would you capture it Or just let it slip?“ -Gökhan Akkamis- #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY „Martial and brutal. No, the fun side of course the expectations were of course very mixed because boxing and pitching apparently diametrically opposed. Like every pitch before I drank chocolate milk and heard 'Till I collapse'.“ #BATTLE – What was the toughest Punch?! „That we do

“The Fight Night is the most honest, hardest and by far the coolest pitch event in Germany! Gloves up and get in the ring!” - Georg Reifferscheid - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY “We already knew the event as a spectator and decided to apply for this honest and hands-on format. In addition to preparing your own pitch, preparing the attack as well as our defense was just as important!” #BATTLE – What was the toughest Punch?! "'AI is not real' ;-)" #AFTERMATH “A gre

„The place, the mood, the sweat - and the blows you have to spread and take. Nowhere is fighting so open and hard.“ - Christian Ehl - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY „I liked the concept from the beginning. As a start-up, you always enter the ring, present yourself, convince the audience, fight against many oppositions and adversaries. Doing that in a real boxing ring comes very close to reality. I think that's sporty, so I particularly like this format.“ #BATTLE –

„Being an entrepreneur requires courage and boldness. Being in the ring is the perfect metaphor for the daily lives of those who want to build a revolutionary business.“ -Marcelo Bohrer- #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY „The event was somehow how I imagined but more fun. I had the expectation to gain more insights for my startup as a result of the sharp questions made by my opponent and the jury. However, their questions were quite plain and revealed nothing really

„ Three, two, one pitch pleeeeeeease !!! What makes it special?! Of course the combination of pitch and boxing match – absolutely unique!“ -Thomas Eggert- #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY „The closer the event came, the more shaky the knees became :-). Boxing match! In English!!! My partner brought a white towel in preparation so he could throw it in the ring.“ #BATTLE – What was the toughest Punch?! „In retrospect, my daughter gave me the hardest punch. She looked

"At the Fight Night you get the opportunity to receive raw feedback from a panel of experienced judges as well as first-hand access on the market’s interest." -Naj Pemberton- #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY "Prior to the event, I imagined Fight Night as the way it was promoted. Besides watching a trailer of last year’s event, the rules and the weigh-in event painted a vivid picture of what to expect." #BATTLE – What was the toughest Punch?! "The hardest punch given

„The Fight Night is the coolest startup event in the universe! It really makes pitching your startup idea fun and makes you laugh about yourself, and improve yourself.“ -Bastian July- #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY „We from GoodIP thought of the Fight Night as an interesting event where startups take part in a sort of poetry slam against each other, just without the poetry. We took a relaxed approach because we jumped in at the last minute. We wanted to look at th

„In fitness training, it's ultimately as in boxing: a good tactic usually wins. Visit us at the next Fight Night in Cologne where we will defend our title!“ -Florian Petri- #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY „It was the first time for us and so I had little idea what to expect. But I definitely had hopes that the Fight Night would have a clear competitive character (unlike other pitch events). And besides the actual pitching, I was hoping for a lot of fun - and was no

"Without a lot of bells and whistles your idea and your business model are dissected: If you have fun and trust yourself and your startup, nothing can happen to you and you will simply have a great evening, establish amazing contacts and drink a Kölsch on the side. Or two..." -Laura Kirst- #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY "We imagined the Founders Fight Night as a tough fight – a hard fight with a bit of Kölsch and a lot of fun! Frankly, our expectations were met in

„The unique environment of a real boxing ring makes the Fight Night an eloquent exchange of blows and an ideal test for any startup.“ -Al Lakhani- #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY „We were very curious about the event itself, especially the format and the dispute in the ring with other founders.“ #BATTLE – What was the toughest Punch?! „The criticism of the security of our website, which has turned out to be rather than sound and smoke action in hindsight.“ #AFTERMA

"Harshness is honesty that does not allow phrases in pitches. The Fight Night is the pitch without make up, you can quickly see which startup has potential!“ - Mirco Grübel - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY "Something exciting, because of the unfamiliar format. But in the end, the mood exceeded our expectations!“ #BATTLE – What was the toughest Punch?! "We could parry everything, but there is still room for improvement! Seriously, this kind of harshness was unfamil
