The annual EU-Startups Summit is nearly upon us, and for the Pitch Competition the deadline for startups to apply is March 2.
Startups looking to compete should be in pre-seed or seed stage, not older than two years, should have raised no VC funding yet (or less than €500K) and have to be based in Europe.
EU-Startups.com’s annual flagship event showcases a selection of Europe’s hottest startups and come together to learn from some of the most successful European entrepreneurs of our time.
The one-day summit takes place April 24 at the Auditori AXA in Barcelona.

According to organizer and EU-Startups.com Founder and editor in chief Thomas Ohr, “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.”
