Skiing

WORLDWIDE

Yes, that’s true – Skinnovation is a startup conference on skis! We will take you to a great ski resort, namely Axamer Lizum and Schlick2000. Whether you are a beginner or pro, there are plenty of slopes for all levels or you might also go off-slope or try out the funpark.

Ski Lift Pitch

WORLDWIDE

Maybe you have already been pitching in a lift, but probably not in a ski lift (except if you attended a previous Skinnovation). No fancy Powerpoint presentation, just you and the investors riding up the mountain. The ski lift takes exactly seven minutes and there a always two investors together with one startup in the 4-seat chairlift.
