IdeaTank vs Pitch Battle

IdeaTank

5 minutes Pitch
3–4 minutes Q&A

Your stage time in front of VCs and angel investors. You present your company, then take questions directly from the investors in the room.

Pitch Battle

5 minutes Pitch
3–4 minutes Q&A

The grand finale on our main stage. A pre-selected set of startups pitches short and sharp — the longer Q&A is where the jury digs in. Prizes worth up to 75.000€

IdeaTank! gives you more time to tell your story. The Pitch Battle gives the jury more time to challenge it.
