INCUBA pitch events make a difference for startups

Mads Harding Gliemann, co-founder & CEO, Siana

"Through both Gin & Tech and Aarhus Investor Summit, we have been introduced to mentors who have helped us with both sales strategy and strategy in relation to raising capital. In addition, we have made contact with business partners who can help support our sales. And at the same time, sparring and networking with other startups and larger companies in the same industry. 

We have also expanded our network with several interested investors who have shown interest in being part of our upcoming investment round."

Maria Freund Thinggaard, co-founder, ReLift

"We were very pleased that we were allowed to pitch at Gin & Tech. It was a really nice event in a great setting and with a suitably informal atmosphere that suited us perfectly. We had chosen to mention two specific sparring areas in our pitch, which was a great success. We got good sparring on our specific challenges. In most cases, the sparring resulted in exciting and useful contacts that we try to make use of.

However, the best output for us is that we now know even more people at INCUBA and even more people at INCUBA know us. It's more fun and easier to greet each other at the coffee machine now, which we enjoy. Overall, we got a much better insight into INCUBA's large ecosystem. The engagement from the participants has continued and given us publicity through LinkedIn. We would highly recommend Gin & Tech to others!"

Allan Wad Petersen, co-founder, FitCube

"After pitching to Gin & Tech in March 2022, we have moved on and now have our first land in Horsens at VIA campus/Construction Center Denmark. We are in the process of getting a building permit, which is great. At Gin & Tech, we got to test our case in front of an audience in a good and safe atmosphere. The atmosphere was informal and really well organized. Especially the information leading up to the event worked really well. Especially because we were guided in what was important to go through when pitching. It was the first time for us.

There was a good response from the guests and we were connected with different stakeholders. In addition, we became more aware of what we needed to move forward and the participation gave us even more motivation to move forward. We would definitely come back when we are further along."

Ibo Yildirim, founder, ANZARO

"For me, attending Gin & Tech was very beneficial. It was the first time I've ever pitched and got really good feedback on it. I got to talk to a lot of sharp and exciting people who had a lot of interesting questions that put things into perspective in relation to my business. It was really good for me to talk to people who were not so much into the mindfulness and healing world, as it gave me a huge insight into how I need to be a little more specific when I reach out to them in the future, in connection with advertising or publicity. 

I've made some new contacts that have turned into both mentors and potential investors to follow up on. I'm excited to see what the future holds."

Mads Emil Marker Jungersen, co-founder, SkipConnect

"In June, SkipConnect participated in our first Gin & Tech event. Here we had the opportunity to pitch our idea and receive valuable feedback. Gin & Tech has helped push us in the direction we are today. Besides expanding our network and practising our pitching skills, we also gained a new customer and received guidance that has helped us become more confident in our idea."
