Important Info for 2026: 

To ensure a diverse and competitive selection of startups, all participants must apply for the Ski Lift Pitch. After purchasing your ticket, you will receive an email with the application link in January. Please note: Purchasing a Skinnovation ticket does not guarantee participation in the pitch process. Make sure to submit your application for a chance to present your innovative ideas to investors!

Startups will be assigned to either the Visibility Pitch or the Funding Pitch, depending on their development and funding stage. Your submitted pitch deck will play an essential role in this assessment. Make sure to clearly describe your startup’s current phase and growth potential. Startups selected for the Visibility Pitch will present in the Olympiabahn or Olympiabahn Cafe, while those chosen for the Funding Pitch will present in the Hoadlbahn.

Visibility Pitch: 

You are in the Idea or Pre-Seed phase, meaning your startup is still in an early stage of development. You may be working on your MVP or testing a prototype to validate your concept and gather initial market feedback. You are actively exploring product–market fit and may have a few early users or pilot customers, but no established revenue yet. Your business is still shaping its market position and scaling potential, with the main goal of building a solid foundation and preparing for future growth.

Funding Pitch:

Your product or service is already on the market, and you have built a solid customer base. You are generating consistent revenue and are focused on optimization, scaling, and improving your operations. You are likely approaching or currently in Series A or B funding rounds, with the primary goal of scaling the company.
