What is the Startup Program?

Our Startup Program supports B2B SaaS founders on their growth journey. We facilitate connections with investors, give much-needed exposure to SaaS leaders, and offer an in-depth learning opportunity.

Participating startups benefit from a series of in-depth workshops at the pre-event Startup Day. This is where they learn everything they need to know about growing their SaaS.

The Startup Program then continues throughout the main conference days, where enrolled startups showcase their product to global SaaS leaders in the Startup Zone on the expo floor. They are also invited to pitch their SaaS in the Global Pitch Competition in front of leading VCs, generating much-needed brand awareness and increasing the odds of securing funding. Our investor matchmaking sessions guarantee meetings with top global VCs and Angels, further increasing chances of sourcing investment for your SaaS.

Who is the Startup Program for?

The Startup Program is for B2B SaaS startups, with less than 35 employees, who have raised less than $3M and currently have an ARR of less than $3M.

If you meet those criteria, and you want to supercharge your growth journey, then the Startup Program is for you.
