SevenVentures, the investment arm of ProSiebenSat.1, has offered more than three million euros for TV and online advertising. They are looking for young B2C companies with physical products. The most successful ones will win the media package at the SevenVentures Pitch Day 2017.
Founders from all over the world can apply for the SevenVentures Pitch Day (7VPD) until October 8, 2017. The winners will be announced on October 26 at the DLD in Berlin. Moderator and startup investor Joko Winterscheidt is part of the expert jury. He says:
"I think it's great that the SevenVentures Pitch Day isn't about virtual products. It's about cloud services and other things that are hard to grasp because they're too abstract."
It remains to be hoped that he will understand the products of the four finalists, who will present their concepts live on stage in front of a jury of industry experts, influencers and well-known media faces.
Growth companies with tangible products sought
Specifically, this year we're looking for creative B2C startups with unique physical products. A scalable business model is a must, and the startup and its product should be sufficiently advanced to meet the demand for a successful TV campaign.
As prize money, SevenVentures has offered a complete media and service package consisting of three million euros in TV advertising money, a 200,000 euro online marketing budget and 40,000 euros for the creation of a dedicated TV commercial.
“With the right marketing strategy and power”
Florian Pauthner, Managing Director of SevenVentures:
Sophie Thiel, influencer
"With the SevenVentures Pitch Day this year, we are supporting young, innovative growth companies that have already successfully established themselves with physical products and now want to take the decisive, dynamic growth step with the right marketing strategy and power."
For the first time, the winner will also receive the support of a well-known influencer: lifestyle and fitness expert Sophia Thiel will provide the young company with advice and support.
