The Munich Startup Podcast is getting a fresh face: with Pitch & People, a new format launches that puts the people behind the startups at the center. From now on, Helen Duran and Kyrill Ring from the Munich Startup editorial team guide listeners through pitches and inspiring conversations, offering a behind-the-scenes look – for the first time also in video format.

The former Munich Startup Podcast is evolving and now bears the title: PITCH & PEOPLE – The Munich Startup Podcast. The focus is now on the stories of founders, investors, and experts who shape the Munich startup ecosystem. It’s not just about business plans, but also about bold decisions, setbacks, and visions for the future. What’s new: the podcast is not only available on all known podcast channels, but can also be experienced as a video format.

Another change is the hosting team. The Munich Startup editorial team is counting on a familiar face and a new voice with Helen Duran and Kyrill Ring, who will shape the podcast. Together they bring exciting guests into conversation – from founders with 90-second elevator pitches and background stories to investors and experts with deep insights into current trends.

Insights into the Munich startup ecosystem with PITCH & PEOPLE

The format positions itself as a stage for the diverse players in the scene. Each interview with a startup combines an elevator pitch with an in-depth conversation. Challenges, personal stories, and entrepreneurial visions are explored. Deep dives with experts provide insights into various industries and bring background knowledge on trends to the video podcast.

The goal is to make the Munich ecosystem more tangible and to make founder spirit and the interesting stories behind companies visible.

More information and current episodes are available here: PITCH & PEOPLE – The Munich Startup Podcast.

All previous 89 episodes of the Munich Startup Podcast from 2020 to 2024 are still available here to listen to.
