Germany is an international melting pot for startups, the creative scene, investors and innovation. Top notch engineering and intellectual works reach new levels. We have learned from the US & Asia, but kept our sense for ambition, sustainability, cultural values, and quality. This pitch will cover Germany's top 5 e-commerce startups:

Heyshops / heyshops.com / Munich
LaterPay / laterpay.net / Munich
Minubo / minubo.com / Hamburg
MyCouchbox / mycouchbox.de / Stuttgart
Railslove / Cologne

This pitch is part of the German Startup Engine at SXSW Startup Village. This session is preceded by a panel discussion about the German startup ecosystem and is followed by a second pitch session that will feature Germany's top 5 travel & mobility startups. The German Startup Engine program will be complimented by additional events at the German Haus (Rainey Street). Visit german-haus.biz or check the SXSW schedule.
