“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,

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.

„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.

„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.
