Matchspace Music in the lion's den - Experience report
The Matchspace Music team ventured into the lion's den and prevailed against many other Swiss startups in the selection process. Find out now whether there will be a “deal” in the end and read this short experience report.
After an exciting application process, we were able to appear in front of the production team of “Höhle der Löwen” for the first time in 2022. We presented our pitch at the CH Media offices in Oerlikon. After a short selection process, it was clear that Matchspace Music was going into the lion's den and was allowed to present to investors and on Swiss TV.
A few months later the time had come! In the studios of 3 Plus in Altstetten there was a showdown between Matchspace Music and the lions. Thanks to the great help of our partner Musik Hug we were able to build a fantastic stage presence with high-quality musical instruments. The team was ready for the pitch... just a few minutes until recording!
This jury of lions was to be convinced with our pitch! Anja Graf, business apartment pioneer, Bettina Hein, tech entrepreneur, Roland Brack, online retail expert and founder of brack.ch, Tobias Reichmuth, sustainability entrepreneur, Lukas Speiser, Amorana co-founder and CEO, Jürg Schwarzenbach, investment company owner, Nicole Büttner, tech optimist and AI entrepreneur, Felix Bertram, dermatologist and entrepreneur.
The time had come! Matchspace Music is “on air”. We were impressed by the professional setting and the incredible effort put into an episode of HDL! Focused and "on brand" we started with a short performance by Gabriela, our in-house cellist! And action!
Whether it ends up being a “deal” with the Lions and how Matchspace Music did on the show, you'll find out here in the blog next Tuesday! Stay tuned! Here you can watch the HDL broadcasts from 3 Plus.
