Die Höhle der Löwen Showcases Four New Pitches as Season 18 Debuts Battle Format

The streaming‑first season features 60‑second Battle Pitches with Frank Thelen back on the investor panel.

Overview

  • The September 8 episode features founders behind STEETS, krydda, FlaveAir and AIR CUBE presenting to the six‑member jury.
  • The teams disclose their asks: STEETS seeks €300,000 for 15%, krydda €75,000 for 20%, FlaveAir €150,000 for 15% and AIR CUBE €200,000 for 10%.
  • STEETS is a stability upgrade for walkers led by 98‑year‑old Heinz Schlechtingen, while krydda offers instant marinade powders to quickly flavor tofu.
  • FlaveAir proposes a modular, calorie‑ and nicotine‑free flavor system as an alternative to sweets, cigarettes and vapes, and AIR CUBE pitches a toilet‑mounted device that extracts odors and neutralizes them without filter changes.
  • Season 18 streams on RTL+ one week before VOX’s Monday broadcasts, began on August 18 for streaming and August 25 on TV, and spans eight episodes with the Battle Pitches round eliminating one team after a 60‑second face‑off.
