What is the Global Pitch Competition?
The Global Pitch Competition is an opportunity to showcase your emerging AI & SaaS startup in front of leading VCs, funds, and the wider SaaS community. Participation provides invaluable exposure, boosts brand awareness, and positions your company as “one to watch.”
Initial pitching rounds will take place ahead of the main SaaStock conference, with semi-finals on Day One and the finals live on Day Two.
“We won the competition and we got our first customers on that day.”
Cristina Vila Vives Founder & CEO, Cledara
“5 funds / angels on my cap table are directly connected to the competition, and I had to turn down many more.”
Jeff Pan
Co-founder, Belli

"[The Pitch Competition] helped us find early adopters amongst the companies that were attending the event. It gave us massive validation... Being able to say that we are SaaStock Global Pitch Competition winners helps companies, and certainly those early adopters, trust us and onboard to Cledara."
