Munich, June 8, 2016 - Founders instead of gladiators, storytelling instead of swordplay, and creativity instead of combat; still, there is a lot at stake for the contestants. According to Forbes, the SevenVentures Pitch Day is one of the most important start-up contests in the world. The venue for this mega battle is the media city of Munich. The investment arm of the ProSiebenSat.1 Group is hosting the start-up contest for the fifth year in a row and the DLDsummer Conference is the perfect arena for this contest. The SevenVentures Pitch Day gives fast-growing B2C enterprises the chance to present their business models to an international audience; and the winner will have the chance to reach an audience of millions through TV and online advertising.

The prize offered by SevenVentures is a full-service media package. The first part of this package consists of TV media worth EUR 3 million. A 20-second ad spot running for two months on ProSieben's six TV channels can generate approximately 225 million impressions. In addition, ProSieben will sponsor EUR 50,000 for spot development. The second part of the prize package consists of an online marketing budget worth EUR 200,000, with which the winning start-up can generate 2.5 million impressions in one and a half months.

The pitch day program and expert juryThe pitches will be evaluated by a jury of experts consisting of SevenVentures CEO Sascha van Holt, Accel's investment expert Luciana Lixandru and WIRED's Editor-in-Chief Nikolaus R ttger. In the elevator pitch, the contestants will have three minutes to present their business concept with enthusiasm, showmanship and expertise. After each pitch, the finalists will be grilled by the jury. We are happy to have a Steven G tjen on board. Steven G tjen is our moderator and will guide us through this amazing event. He is a showman expert, who you may recognize from Schlag den Raab .
Sascha van Holt: With its global orientation and international network, the DLDsummer Conference is the absolute perfect partner for our start-up contest. I am always inspired by incisive founders and personalities, fascinated by unconventional and unique ideas, and above all delighted by a thrilling competition.
Media-for-equity deals = Start-up boosterIn their early years start-ups rarely have the budget for expensive TV advertising. Instead, they can trade equity or revenue for advertising time on the channels of the ProSiebenSat.1 Group (media-for-equity). Probably everyone who watches television in Germany is familiar with at least one success story of the SevenVentures portfolio: The TV spots featuring the Zalando scream reached an iconic status amongst the German TV audiences and were extremely efficient in generating traffic/success for this online retailer, which has some of the highest sales in Germany today. SevenVentures also supported other impressive success stories like JustFab, Lieferando and auxmoney.
The SevenVentures Pitch Day has been held every year since 2012.
Earlier winners include Withings, Cashboard, GetYourGuide and Popsa.
