Have you ever pitched in a ski lift?

Imagine pitching your idea while gliding up in the unique setting of a gondola, high above the Austrian Alps. This unforgettable experience is the highlight of Skinnovation. You will have about 9 minutes in the gondola – 3-4 minutes for your pitch, followed by time for questions and networking. The best startups will go through the finals on friday evening at the Hoadlhaus, where they will pitch in front of a live audience.

Important Update for 2025: 

This year, to ensure a diverse and competitive selection of startups, all participants need to apply for the Ski Lift Pitch. Once you have purchased a ticket, you will get an email with the application link. Purchasing a ticket for Skinnovation does not guarantee particpating in the pitch process. Be sure to submit your application for a chance to showcase your innovative ideas to the investors! 

​

Startups will be categorized into Early Stage and Later Stage based on their development and funding status. Your submitted pitch deck will play a crucial role in the selection process. Ensure that you clearly articulate your startup´s stage and growth potential. Early Stage Startups will pitch in the Olympiabahn (open session) and Later Stage Startups will pitch in the Hoadlbahn ("1x1" session).

​

Early Stage Startups: 

You are in the Pre-Seed or Seed funding stage, i.e. still in the early development phase of your startup. You are possibly working on your MVP or testing a prototype to validate your concept and assess a response of the market. You are actively working on identifying the right product-market fit and might have a few early users or customers, but no established revenue yet. Your business is still exploring its market position and scaling potential, with the main goal being to develop a stable base and prepare for growth. 

​

Later Stage Startups:

Your product or service is already on the market, and you have built a solid customer base. You are generating consistent revenue and focusing on optimization, scaling, and improving your operations. You are probably before/in the series A or B financing rounds and your goal is to scale the company.
