World and Olympic champion Kristina Vogel’s guest appearance in the “Lion’s Cave” in Episode 3 of Shark Tank Germany, or as it is more widely known, Die Höhle der Löwen, the bar has been lifted significantly higher. The German cyclist, who was paralyzed from the waist down after a gruesome crash in 2018, represented the Lions along with the original founders Wolf Dietrich Pflaumbaum, Christian Czapek, and Dr. Christine Pflaumbaum to introduce “trivida,” a detachable wheelchair designed to help the disabled shift into a wheelchair or reposition as desired and thus promote daily mobility.
Trivida had recently won the German Innovation Award in May 2022 and rolled onto national television on April 12, 2022, in the third episode of Die Höhle der Löwen dubbed “Among others with: “trivida” by Olympic champion Kristina Vogel” which ran for 111 minutes on VOX.
In episode 4, Formula 1 world champion and now investor in mostly green technologies Nico Rosberg features as one of the “lions” where he tests flashers on an e-scooter – two self-regulating, luminous bracelets that are intended to make road traffic safer through brake lights and an integrated indicator system. In addition, we see Dr. Ines Wöckl and Dr Alexander Rech also pitch flashy gadgets to the lions. Overall, however, it is worth noting that The Lion’s Den did not disappoint with its latest release.

In accordance with the VOX format, in this game show, start-up business owners and inventors seek investments in their company from the five “lions” or jurors who receive, in return, shares in their businesses. These young entrepreneurs present business pitches to the jurors who, subsequently, extend support and know-how to them on the condition that they find their business ideas convincing and potentially profitable. If not, candidates go home empty-handed because the jurors invest their own capital, so they take caution to do so only in ventures they think are most plausible.
