Welcome to THE POOL – Final Pitch Day!

After an intense hackathon week(end), the newly formed teams from THE POOL are ready to take the stage: they will pitch the AI startup ideas they developed during the hackathon – from first spark to prototype vision.

In front of an expert jury, they’ll compete for the chance to receive up to €54,000 in prototype funding – a unique opportunity to turn their ideas into reality.

But this event is about more than pitches: it’s a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the growing AI ecosystem. Whether you’re a founder, researcher, investor, or simply curious about what’s next in AI – you are warmly invited to join us.

Come for the ideas, stay for the community: inspiring pitches, insights into Munich’s AI landscape, and plenty of networking at Google Munich.
