vGreens Awarded NEXT GEN UNICORN Award

This past Thursday, October 31, 2024, the very first “DieBusinessPunk” took place – and vGreens took home first place in the pitch for the NEXT GEN UNICORN Award! Our Co-Founder and Co-CEO Dr. Maximilian Hartmann represented Team vGreens on stage and impressed the jury with our data-driven approach to fruit production in just four minutes.  

The brand new event series “DieBusinessPunk” of the business lifestyle magazine “Business Punk” is tailored specifically to entrepreneurs, creative managers and visionaries. In the pitch for the NEXT GEN UNICORN Award, four startups had the chance to present their groundbreaking ideas and convince the jury of experienced entrepreneurs and investors why they will soon be valued in the billions. 

You can get an overview of the event in the video:
