The Impact StartAperitivo is an initiative of the investor network of IFB Innovationsstarter GmbH, Planet A Ventures, Hamburg Invest's Startup Unit and the Chamber of Commerce. The event should forge direct contact between founders and investors as well as corporate representatives and offer start-ups even more financing opportunities. The "Best Pitch Award" will be presented on May 5, 2022. The agenda features several live pitches and talks with experts. Founders such as Fridtjof Detzner, co-founder of Planet A Ventures and Jimdo, Varena Junge, climate activist, joint founder of Yook, and Wilfried Gillrath, investor and former CEO of Lichtblick, will give insight into sustainability, social impact and collaborations with start-ups.
North German impact start-ups that pursue socially, economically or ecologically sustainable goals can apply for the first Impact StartAperitivo in Hamburg to be held in May. Applications are now being accepted for the qualifying event on April 20, 2022. Eight finalists will go forward to pitch live in front of investors and experts in the Chamber of Industry and Commerce on May 5, 2022.
