On April 20-21 we’ll be hosting our annual EU-Startups Summit in beautiful Barcelona! The event will gather over 2,000 founders, startup enthusiasts and investors for two exciting days of networking, inspiration and learning. Alongside a bustling exhibition hall, a dedicated networking app/area, and exciting pitch competitions, we’ll also have two stages where you’ll be able to learn from over 70 speakers and listen to educational and inspiring talks by internationally successful founders.
This year, we are bringing something a little different to the Summit, and we’re super excited about it. The next speaker we’re revealing today is the Pitch Doctor, AKA Christoph Sollich! Christoph will be joining us on stage to deliver a ridiculously convincing pitch about his venture RydeMyPony!
Christoph has already helped over 1,800 startups with their pitches, working as a pitch coach for different accelerators, incubators and startup competitions across the world. He’s also a pretty funny startup comedian and is sure to both teach you something and put a smile on your face. Learning should be fun after all!
Through his fake startup RydeMyPony.com (“Collaboratively Consuming Ponies Together”), his “Berlin Pitch” (called “outrageously brilliant” by Brad Feld) and his upcoming comedy show about the Berlin startup scene, Christoph brings a dose of humour to the sometimes-too-serious entrepreneurial world. We can’t wait to welcome him at this year’s EU-Startups Summit this April!
Get your ticket today so that you don’t miss it! To learn more about the event, and the other wonderful speakers taking part, check out our dedicated event page, and enjoy the video below, which will give you some insights into what’s to come.
