What is the Rheinland-Pitch?

The Rheinland-Pitch was initiated by STARTPLATZ back in 2013 in Cologne. It has since become the single-biggest startup pitch competition in Germany. In this monthly held competition, we give startups the chance to present their business ideas in front of potential customers, investors and corporates. The audience regularly consists of a crowd of more than 100 people. The winner of the Rheinland-Pitch is determined by the audience via online vote.
