3. The problem
Startups are economically important for innovation and for the creation
of new jobs, but...
• But it‘s hard to distinguish dreamers from super talents at early stage
• For start-ups and investors it is impossible to know all leading media
people and cooperation partners for reach in the DACH area
• Startups have a limited marketing budget: a focus on PR und reach
partnerships as a part of the marketing mix is inevitable
• But there are no PR or Business Development agencies that are
affordable, transnational and specialized on innovative start-ups
• Only by a simultaneous roll-out in multiple countries European start-
ups will grow as fast as their competitors in US and BRIC
