The Rooftop Pitch (RTP) Potsdam is the exclusive and unique annual event for networking and initiation of financing for innovative startups based in Brandenburg and Berlin. At the pitch event, startups pitch in front of venture capital investors and business angels in a relaxed and collegial atmosphere. With their in-person participation in the RTP Potsdam, the EIC beneficiaries will achieve five important goals: 1) Pitching their startup in front of top investors of the Berlin-Brandenburg area. 2) Networking with know-how, sponsors, mentors, investors, and a consortium of the most relevant stakeholders from the regional founder-supporter network. 3) Gaining an overview of the current startup scene in the Berlin-Brandenburg area. 4) Identification of successful examples of networking and financing from startups who participated in previous RTP events. 5) Increasing their probability of success in acquiring capital and sales activities via attending a pitch training workshop organised before the event.
Free-of-charge.
