This is what it looks like when founders back themselves. Berlin brought the energy, the ideas, and the conviction. The Pitch by Deel (sponsored by J.P. Morgan) gave them the stage — the rest was all them. Congrats to our 12 Berlin winners, and to every founder who pitched. 🙌

Every great performance has a backstage. Ours this weekend: partnering with Snoop Dogg to make a surprise Coachella set with Giveon happen. Deel is the infrastructure businesses rely on to execute - so they can focus on what they do best. We handle the complexity. They take the stage. Big things coming soon. #Coachella #Deel #BackstageWithDeel

Berlin was the latest stop on The Pitch by Deel (sponsored by J.P. Morgan), and the founders made it count. Across the day, the room was electric — every single person (and dog) who took that stage deserves credit for showing up and backing themselves in front of a live audience. But 12 teams walked away as winners, and they are: Mav9, cybee.ai, Pangea.ai, Hyphen, InParallel, Claro AI , Iqana, Grale (formerly PlasticFri®), Silex, Nooxit, Granter, and Validproof. 👏 These founders are now in the running for the global finale. We can't wait to see what they do next. To every founder who pitched in Berlin — thank you. You made it worth being there!

Berlin showed up. Yesterday, The Pitch by Deel (sponsored by J.P. Morgan) came to one of Europe's most ambitious startup cities, and the energy in the room reminded us why we built this: founders with bold ideas deserve a real shot at funding. Startup founders from across the region took the stage. Judges were sharp. The pitches were sharper. Up to $50,000 in SAFE investment was on the line for regional winners, and the best will go on to compete for $1,000,000 at the global finale. Next stop: London. If you're a pre-Seed, Seed, or Series A founder with a product worth scaling, this is your moment. The Pitch is open to startups from any industry, anywhere in the world. Applications take minutes. Global startup funding tournaments don't come around every day. London does. Apply now → deel.com/the-pitch-by-deel
