The Young Industry and WhatAVenture invite hardware and innovative B2B software startups to present their company to top level executives of the largest Austrian industrial enterprises.

13 startups will be selected and will compete in the 100 year old Paternoster located in the historic ´House of Industry´ in Vienna. All the startups have the possibility to pitch their business idea to the jury while riding in a cabin of the Paternoster.

The challenge

Each startup will be assigned a cabin in the paternoster. One after the other a jury member will join the startup in their cabin. The pitcher will have approximately 4 minutes to present their business and discuss the matter with the member of the jury. The startup that can convince the most members of the jury from their idea will win the challenge!

Additionally, there will be a crowd price at the Pitch im Paternoster 2016. This year also the audience may choose a winner by utilizing the app Pitchscoring©. Here the audience rates the startups presenting at their booths by voting on their team, market, scalability, business model and technology.
