Pitch Club #35

Over a decade of growth, innovation, and support for the startup scene in Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region—that’s the Pitch Club. What began as a response to the challenges of a fragmented startup scene has evolved into a cornerstone of the regional ecosystem. Since our founding, we have supported 346 exciting startups on their journey and presented them to more than 1,320 investors.

Our focus has been clear from the start: solving the central problem facing founders—raising capital. To date, over 48% of the participating startups have secured funding. In total, startups that have participated in one of our Pitch Club events have been awarded more than €710 million in funding!

On Wednesday, September 9, 2026, we will host the 35th edition of the Pitch Club in Frankfurt.

For our upcoming event, up to ten promising early-stage startups with a proof of concept can qualify. They will have six minutes to inspire and convince the attending investors with their ideas. This will be followed by one-on-one meetings to discuss more in-depth questions and explore potential partnerships.

Startups can apply at https://thepitchclub.com/startup/ up to two and a half weeks before the event (August 23).
