There must be a clear connection to the Rheingau-Taunus district. \nThe prizes: Kick-start for your start-up\nThe start-up prize will not finance your dream\, but it will give your idea and its further development a little kick and provide you with a stage. \nAs a participant in one of the categories\, you have the chance to win €1\,500 (1st place)\, €1\,000 (2nd place)\, or €500 (3rd place).

Voting will be as follows: 70% jury and 30% audience. \n______________________________________________ \nGeneral conditions: A few rules for participation\nIndividuals or teams can apply. \nApplications can only be made for one category. \nThe categories in detail: \nCategory 1: Open to business ideas from school pupils\, students\, and employees. \nCategory 2: Open to start-ups by students\, alumni\, or employees of the universities located in the RTK. \nCategory 3: Open to founders who are based in the Rheingau-Taunus district. \n\nThe following must be submitted: A description of the start-up idea and a pitch deck with a maximum of 10 charts and all relevant information.\nDocuments must be submitted using the application form below.\nAt least one team member undertakes to represent the team at the final and award ceremony on November 12\, 2025.\nApplicants assure that their submitted business ideas or business models originate exclusively from them and do not infringe on any third-party rights.\nParticipants agree that their personal data\, in particular their names and email addresses\, will be stored beyond the duration of the competition.\nThe winners agree that their names and a brief description of their ideas will be announced during the award ceremony and subsequently on the Gründungsfabrik Rheingau website and in a press release.\nThe participants agree that photos and videos of the event may also be used by Gründungsfabrik and sponsors after the event.\nIncorrect information provided during registration or in connection with the submission will result in disqualification.\n\nWe look forward to an exciting competition!
