STARTUPLAND is an important startup event happening on November 5th at RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne, Germany. The event will have different stages with interesting talks, discussions, interviews, and networking opportunities for startup people. Three successful startup founders will be the main speakers.

Sven Lackinger created Sastrify, a cyber-security company in Cologne that helps businesses buy and manage software. His company raised over $50 million from investors. Lena Hackelöer founded Brite Payments in Stockholm in 2019.

Her company offers payment solutions and works in 26 European countries. Frank Wolf started Staffbase in Chemnitz in 2014. His company makes platforms for employee communication apps and has about 800 employees.

The event has a special 'Reverse Pitch' where investors present their funds to startups instead of the usual way. This happens during RISE IN STARTUPLAND Week from November 3-7, when Cologne becomes a startup center.
