About this Event
PropTech × Smart City × ConTech: a pitch battle for the built future.
Why this is more than just another pitch event
invests early in teams making cities and buildings more sustainable, smarter, and more livable—and gives them real testbeds across 200+ existing properties throughout Europe.
Founders Fight Night brings the players on stage:
- Portfolio champions from STYX verticals: PropTech, Green & CleanTech, Smart City, ConTech
- Hand-picked wildcards with the same mission: to rethink the “breakpoint zone” where code meets concrete.
In short: only startups that solve real urban and real-estate problems—and aim to scale—step into this ring.
How the Founders Fight Night – STYX Edition works
Warm-Up
Get first insights into STYX pilots from Copenhagen to Barcelona, meet other guests, and find key new contacts in the event app.
Rounds 1–3
Two startups face off in each bout. Three minutes to pitch, one minute to rebut—then it’s over—and the audience decides. You are the market. You’re always right.
Haymaker Judges
At the end of each round, VC pros and built-environment veterans break down the pitches. They applaud the hits, expose weak spots, and discuss scalability.
Final
Only one takes the belt and the title “Urban Breakpoint Champion 2025.” Make some noise—your vote decides the glory.
After-Ring
When the bell stops, we move from ring to bar: beats, drinks, and deal talk. Deepen connections, lock calendar holds, and enjoy a stylish close to the event.
