At the heart of our event lies an diligent selection of early-stage startups, handpicked from our thriving ecosystem with over 800 tech startups knocking on our door each year. For each event, a seasoned team of startup advisors and experts sift through 100+ up-and-coming startups.
The result? A constellation of the top 30 startups, each showing early traction, exhibiting growth indicators, and implying investment potential.
