Feedback form is now closed.
In diesem gemeinsamen Format von The Bay Areas und dem Waterkant Festival drehen wir den Spieß um.

Die Idee: In einem kurzen Pitch stellen fünf Unternehmen eine Herausforderung, Fragestellung oder Idee vor, für die sie sich neue Perspektiven, Austausch oder Lösungen wünschen. Start-ups und Gäste stellen Fragen und nennen erste Ideen und Lösungsansätze. Das anschließende Networking bietet die Möglichkeit, die Gespräche zu vertiefen und sich für weiteren Austausch und Zusammenarbeit zu verabreden.

Unser Ziel: Gemeinsame Lösungsentwicklung für die pitchenden Unternehmen und branchenübergreifen-der Austausch und Input von innovativen Köpfen, Match-Making und Vernetzung von Start-ups und Mittelstand.

best practice                       
Max Jacobi, Geschäftsführer WIR DREI: „Durch den Reverse Pitch bekommen Unternehmen ganz neue und frische Ideen zum Beispiel zur Lösung alltäglicher Probleme. Uns hat das Start-up Con Cubo sehr gut unterstützt und seine Software so adaptiert, dass wir den größtmöglichen Nutzen haben.“                                                                         
Denise Hank, Co-Founderin Con Cubo: „Wir sind durch den Reverse Pitch auf einen neuen Use Case für unsere Software zur Ressourcenplanung aufmerksam geworden und haben mit WIR DREI gleich einen Ko-operationspartner dafür gefunden.“

In this joint format of The Bay Areas and the Waterkant Festival, we are turning the tables.

The idea: In a short pitch, five companies present a challenge, issue or idea for which they would like new perspectives, exchanges or solutions. Start-ups and guests ask questions and name initial ideas and solutions. The subsequent networking session offers the opportunity to deepen the discussions and make appointments for further exchange and collaboration.

Our goal: Joint solution development for the pitching companies, cross-industry exchange and input from innovative minds, match-making and networking between start-ups and SMEs.

best practice
Max Jacobi, Managing Director of WIR DREI: “The reverse pitch gives companies completely new and fresh ideas for solving everyday problems, for example. The start-up Con Cubo supported us very well and adapted its software in such a way that we get the greatest possible benefit."                                                                         
Denise Hank, co-founder of Con Cubo: “We became aware of a new use case for our resource planning software through the reverse pitch and immediately found a cooperation partner for it in WIR DREI.”
