EU-Startups Summit - 24 APR 2018 Barcelona - Pitch Competition: Your ideas are welcome

On the 24th of April, we’re going to host this year’s edition of the EU-Startups Summit at the Auditori Axa in sunny Barcelona. We’ll have inspiring speakers like the King founder Riccardo Zacconi, great networking possibilities in conjunction with delicious food – but most importantly: An exciting pitch competition!
 
Pitch Competition: During the EU-Startups Summit, we’re going to have an electrifying pitch competition with 15 pre-selected startup teams from all across Europe. Our goal is to showcase some of Europe’s best early-stage startups out there. The participating teams will get a lot of valuable feedback from an expert jury of well known investors. The winning startup will receive a prize package worth €50,000+ and will be prominently featured on EU-Startups.com. The concrete prize package of this year’s pitch competition and the prominent investor jury will be announced on the 12th of February.
 
Apply now: If you’re interested in pitching your startup with a 3-minute-presentation in front of an excited audience of 750 people (investors, startup enthusiasts, and the media), please apply here!
  • The application deadline is on the 2nd of March!
Precondition: Your startup should be in pre-seed or seed stage, not older than 2 years, should have raised no VC funding yet (or less than €500K) and has to be based in Europe.
