As in the previous year, a competition will be held for Bavarian startups with the aim of participating in the SXSW Startup Accelerator.
Five winners will be chosen and receive the following support for their trip to SXSW Interactive:
- Reimbursement of the Startup Accelerator application fee ($200)
- 2 SXSW Interactive conference tickets per startup
- Sleeping space for 2 people per startup in one of the residential buildings booked and managed by WERK1
- Return flight for 1 person per startup
At SXSW, the startups not only live in the trendy startup residences, but also participate in panels and pitch competitions in the German Haus.
A jury selects 15 startups from the email applications that are admitted to the pitch.
The pitch winners will be selected on the day of the pitch event to ensure that the deadline for accelerator registration can be met.
Application start: September 9, 2016
Apply at: sxsw@werk1.com (Pitch deck in English up to 10 slides)
Pitch event – When & Where: October 13, 2016, WERK1
