🎤 Pitchday — The Grand Finale of SummerUP 2026

After eight days of building, selling and pushing limits, it all comes down to this: Pitchday on The Delta Stage.

40 teams spent one week turning raw ideas into working products with real traction and first paying customers. Only the Top 10 made it through the Pre-Pitches. Now they battle it out live.

Program 16:00 · Open Doors 16:30 · Top 10 Finale Pitches 18:00 · Break & Drinks (jury deliberates) 18:30 · Winners Ceremony 19:00 · Mingling, Drinks & Pizza

Each team pitches live, followed by Q&A from our jury. Expect high energy, raw creativity and real numbers, not just visions.

💰 €10,000 in prize money 🥇 €5,000 · 🥈 €3,000 · 🥉 €2,000

Jury ⭐️ Florian Heinemann — Founding Partner, Project A ⭐️ Neel Popat — Co-Founder & CEO, Popcorn ⭐️ Stefan Peukert — Co-Founder, Masterplan ⭐️ Alena Redeker — Principal, AUXXO Female Catalyst Fund ⭐️ Fabian Wittleben — Serial Founder & Investor, MVP Founders ⭐️ Holger Kujath — Investor & Founder of Knuddels ⭐️ Kazuna Yamamoto — The Delta

If you invest early, this is the stage before the one you usually see: teams showing revenue that did not exist eight days earlier, before they appear on anyone's radar. A few of them will be raising right after the week.

But Pitchday is about more than winning. It is about celebrating the spirit of building, sparking future ventures and making real connections. Whether you come to enjoy, to invest or simply to get inspired, you will witness the raw momentum of early-stage innovation, live on The Delta Stage.

🎉 Let's end SummerUP with a bang — and maybe launch the next breakout startup.
