Innovation Warehouse and Startup Rally Partner to Bring High-Growth European Startups To London.
London, UK – 11 July 2013 – Innovation Warehouse, a startup accelerator, and Startup Rally, a startup pitching competition, partner to connect and inspire European entrepreneurs and drive startup growth.
Startup Rally will take place in 9 cities across 19 days, starting and finishing in London, UK from 12th August to 30th August, respectively. Pitching events will be held in Amsterdam, Hamburg, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Munich, Zurich, Paris and London. Innovation Warehouse is awarding the local winner of each city competition co-working space at Innovation Warehouse London for up to 6-months, mentorship, and the opportunity to pitch for Angel investment.
“Startups are free to go to just 1 or 2 cities, but get extra support if they accept a challenge of doing the entire Startup Rally distance. Ideally, they travel by car and are encouraged to go as crazy as they can in terms of designing their car. Well, it’s a rally after all!” says Marina Hramkova of Leto, the organization behind Startup Rally.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Startup Rally and look forward to having all 9 companies join us at Innovation Warehouse London – Can’t wait to find out who you are! We see the winner teams being a great addition to the IW Community, particularly when considering the value of exchanging local market insights and cultural know-how. Diversity of ideas and cultures make for a great globally focused startup community!” says Luisa Marieth Morales of Innovation Warehouse.
