the founders at fight night

"A professional, value-added and fun format that reflects your business idea mercilessly.“It's not about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.”@Rocky Balboa" - Tom Raab - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY "Well, I researched some information about the previous Fight Nights, my competitors and their companies. Then I tried to find weak points in terms of content and concept, as we

"The Founders Fight Night was my first big pitch event of this kind. It was a great opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and be challenged by my opponent, and the jury. I highly recommend it: Especially with little pitching experience, the learning effect is huge, but you should be ready to take some serious hits - your opponent is definitely prepared." - Philipp Pommer - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY "Just before the event, I was very excited. I researche

“Great fight, great experience, great people, keep the pace and the energy.“ - Christian Wunsch - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY “Get knowledge about your opponent and their product and get straight to the point." #BATTLE – What was the toughest Punch?! “Vegetarian food for dogs...are you serious?“ #NETWORK “Yes, sure! I engaged with jury, audience and the other fighters." #ALL ABOUT INNOVATION "The Pier - flexible.workspace.Mainz" #GROWTH "We are opening our doo

“It was so fun pitching Embr Labs against amazing other startups. The format was new and nerve-racking, but I was able to make the most of it and make our team proud.“ - Sam Shames - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY “I reviewed previous pitches, researched the other companies, and gathered my nerves." #BATTLE – What was the toughest Punch?! “Hearing people call our product an overpriced gimmick was tough, but it's something we had heard before in the early stages o

“It was extremely cool event! Great people, great format, great time! No startup bullshit - just straight to the point. I like it! And hey! We got second place among the best consumer electronics startups in the world :)“ - Filip Wawrzyniak - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY “At first I was skeptical, because the format of the battle is so unusual - but in the end it was a lot of fun. When you have to think in more confrontational way about your company and the ot

“I never thought that a virtual fight could be so exciting. Great discussions also in the lounge with the people in charge at MediaMarkt Saturn. All in all: very successful and a great event. And of course I was very happy to have won our battle. Thanks to everyone!“ - Patrick Cotting - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY “Well, the tips of the organizers were good. In this sense one only had to follow them :-)" #BATTLE – What was the toughest Punch?! “Well, the tough

“It was fun, intense, and exciting to hear the feedback from the audience!“ - Elnaz Sarraf - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY “I was super excited to join the fight. I felt the idea of pitch fight night is so unique and I've never seen anything like it before. It was also exciting to prepare for the pitch. I had to practice a few times, time myself and making sure I can cover important aspects of Roybi Robot." #BATTLE – What was the toughest Punch?! “The toughest o

“Super Tough Pitch Battles – with jabs and right hook questions from your opponent and the jury. It was great to be in the ring and to fight for glory. I love the event.“ - Tristan Niewöhner - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY “Pull Ups, Push Ups and Start Ups screening with a great crew ;) The concept of the ring fits to the start-up context as you enter the ring with every pitch you give. You never know who your opponent is and how the attack will look like. I was

“Didn't expect that much of the event beforehand, but was very happy that I attended it! Even though it took place digitally, there was a great fighting atmosphere and great start-ups!“ - Lea Matschke - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY “I looked through my opponnet's website and for arguments to make him struggle." #BATTLE – What was the toughest Punch?! “There is no market for the this kind of product.“ #ALL ABOUT INNOVATION "Brajuu is the new online bra fitter. U

“The Fight Night – a great idea for a pitch event. Close to real life because (let's be honest) that's how business works: it's a permanent fight, and you have to love it to be successful! Even the virtual Fight Night has lost none of its charm.“ - Tristan Niewöhner - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY “As it was the first virtual Fight Night we were very curious to see how this concept would work (note: it was a great – virtual – experience!). Since we knew in advan

“Very good example of how an event can become digital.“ - Philipp Seegers - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY “We fight to make recruiting fair and discrimination free each day, no need for a special preparation." #BATTLE – What was the toughest Punch?! “Calling my opponent "desperate" because he was handing out a promo code was not nice - sorry Tristan :) And when Alex tried to debunk our product based on his "one person sample" that made for an easy counter-attack

“It was our first time participating in such a format and it was great. The FOUNDERS FIGHT NIGHT is an exciting and fun alternative to the typical pitch events.“ - Alexander Schlomberg - #FIGHT NIGHT – Pitch Please!! #PRELIMINARY “We were asked relatively spontaneously whether we wanted to participate in the first virtual version of the Fight Night. When we found out how everything would work out, we were already a bit curious." #BATTLE – What was the toughest Punch?! “It wa

“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
