Pitch & Pizza: for Impact Entrepreneurs & Innovators

Pitching can be scary. Pizza is not.

We combine the two to give impact innovators and entrepreneurs the chance to pitch their solution or startup and collect feedback before they approach scarier stages.

Whether you're looking to practice your pitch, support startups to scale their impact, or just want to be inspired while enjoying a good slice of margherita (vegan options also available), Pitch & Pizza is where you need to be.

Join us at Impact Hub Berlin for our regular 90-minute event of impactful storytelling, community building, and yes, free pizza. 🍕

What’s the Vibe?

We’re skipping the scary pretences of pitching and inviting impact innovators to tell their story authentically, and with the vulnerability to accept feedback.

At each Pitch & Pizza, three courageous impact entrepreneurs will step onto the stage to give a 5 minute pitch.

As the audience, you’ll get a front-row seat to the latest innovations coming out of Berlin. You'll also take on the role of whoever our startups are preparing to pitch to. Then have the chance to grill them(kindly!) and note down your feedback.

After the pitches, the floor is yours. Mingle with fellow innovators and impact makers, swap ideas or connections, and head home (or back to your desk) fueled by inspiration and carbs.

The Agenda

• Grab some pizza & take a seat
• 3 startup pitches & gentle grilling from the audience
• Networking and mingling
• Back to the grind (feeling inspired)!
