Web Summit PITCH 2023

PITCH is Web Summit’s startup competition that brings together the world’s leading early-stage startups to battle it out onstage.

As a part of the Web Summit vibrant community of startups, you will have a chance to make your world-changing ideas happen.

The selected ALPHA and BETA startups will get three tickets to Web Summit, access to Investor to Startup meetings, and be eligible to apply for PITCH, Startup masterclasses, Mentor Hours and more. Join us in Lisbon in 2023!

Become an Alpha

Embrace the growth opportunities for your startup:

• Brand awareness
  The world’s leading media publications and journalists will join Web Summit looking for the next big news story. They’ll help you share your startup’s message with the world – and the world’s leading businesses.
• Funding
  Investor to Startup meetings are pre-scheduled sessions between the world’s most influential investors and the startups that excite them. If selected you’ll get insider advice on making your startup irresistible to investors.
• Networking
  Networking opportunities are woven through every Web Summit experience. Start networking weeks before the event with the Web Summit app – reach out to investors, sign up for Mentor Hours, and find potential leads.
• Learning
  Schedule meetings with founders who’ve overcome all the odds and trendsetting companies in your industry. And follow up on these leads after the event. You never know who may become your new business partner, investor or mentor.

How does the competition work?

• Assessment and selection
  All applications are recorded and passed on to an independent panel of influential judges for assessment.
• Prepare for battle
  The top 105 startups will prepare their deck and delivery to battle it out onstage at Web Summit. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
• Time to pitch
  Present in front of a panel of investors, members of the media and global partners for the chance to be crowned the winner of PITCH.
