TV presence at 2 minutes 2 million

Since 2018, Martin Rohla has been a jury member for the TV show "2 Minuten 2 Mio." on the private broadcaster Puls4 , which belongs to the media group ProSiebenSat.1 Media . Rohla invests in some of the start-ups presented there . With his participation in the jury, Rohla covers the area of sustainability and will also be part of the coming season alongside Hans Peter Haselsteiner and Florian Gschwandtner , among others .

The show is the Austrian counterpart to the start-up show Die Höhle der Löwen, which is broadcast in Germany on the private broadcaster VOX . Because of its reach, the program is considered a relevant platform for the Austrian start-up and start-up scene in Austria. Criticism of the show becomes loud when the investments promised in front of the camera do not materialize, although the reasons for this rarely come to the public.
