Weekly pitch contest with Startnext cofunding for the winning project.
See this short introduction from our founder Denis (in german but with engl. subtitles).
The Launch Day will take place if at least 4 videos are accepted.
If more than 8 projects apply, we will curate the participants. Those who are not included will automatically be entered for the next Launch Day.
Legal recourse is excluded.
Simply turn on your cell phone camera and convince and entertain in 60 seconds. We take care of the launch day call-to-action for you. We incorporate reactions into your video, brand it and take care of the call-to-action. You just take care of your pitch.
Your video will be approved if it meets the following conditions
What we do with your video:
Explain to the crowd what needs to be done to win the Launch Day
You will not get to see the video before the launch (due to time constraints)
We launch the approved videos on Thurs. around 4 pm
Take a look at our sample video that shows you how we re-brand your pitch to make sure, that it fits to the startnext UI and our Launch Day Call-to-Action.
The Insta-Game
Your post will be suggested frequently in feeds and stories if the recipients like, comment on, share and save your post. The more they do this, the more visible your post will be. The more visibility for your project.
You can convert this visibility into supporters if you send a clear message.
Our basic understanding of Launch Day is that you do what you should already be doing to make your project successful. You communicate directly and proactively with your crowd on Instagram. You play the Insta game (see info box).
This means that your post should be designed to be shareable and encourage interaction. As mentioned, you do this for your own project, not for Startnext.
The Launch Day format further supports this communication task through a community action that gives you even more visibility. If your pitch receives the highest number of likes, you will emerge as the winner of Launch Day.
Important! Currently, we only count likes until Wednesday at 4 PM and check for manipulation before announcing the winning project.
