When start-ups pitch in the extraordinary location of the Linz Grottenbahn, innovation and fairy tales come together. The example of PelviQueens shows why this is more than just a fairytale show for founders.
Clear the stage for innovation
On September 3, the Grottenbahn in Linz was transformed into a place of entrepreneurial magic: the Fairytale Pitch Night of the Upper Austrian incubator tech2b offered seven selected startups a stage to present their ideas to investors, business angels, VCs and family offices. Among them: Magdalena and Judith from PelviQueens - two physiotherapists with a clear mission for women's health. During the ride on the legendary Grottenbahn, the two founders presented their vision in three minutes: to support women independently, discreetly and effectively in strengthening their pelvic floor - with a digital, individualized approach. They were supported byDr. Florian Kandlerthe well-known "pitch doctor" from the TV show2 Minutes 2 Millionwho specifically prepared the start-ups for their big performance.
Fairytale setting, measurable impact
"Strong networks and targeted investments are the key to successful start-ups. With the Fairytale Pitch Night, we showed how inspiring networking can be - in a fairytale setting," emphasized Lukas Keplinger, Managing Director of tech2b. The mix of creative staging and strategic focus on investment readiness underlines tech2b's claim: not just to support start-ups, but to make them visible and successful.

The pitches were followed by exclusive networking in a fairytale atmosphere. In a relaxed environment, the investors were able to make valuable contacts and deepen their discussions.
