PITCH is the startup competition at Web Summit that brings together the world’s leading early-stage startups for a live on-stage battle. Named by Forbes as one of the best startup competitions worldwide, PITCH gives Web Summit startups the chance to tell their companies’ story to an international audience and distinguished judging panel.
After a week of deliberating over 1,000 applications, our judges have now chosen the shortlist of companies for PITCH at Web Summit 2016.
One of which will be named the best startup at Web Summit 2016 – the winner of PITCH.
But first, who’s making that call?
Our confirmed judges for the PITCH final include Forbes Midas Lister (number two on this year’s list) Steve Anderson and Aspect Ventures Co-founder Theresia Gouw. Check out some of the other confirmed judges.
Rebecca Kaden – Partner – Maveron
Christian Nagel – Co-founder – Earlybird
Colin Greenspon – Managing Director – Mithril
Quinn Li – Head of Qualcomm Ventures
Here’s how it works…
The selected companies will all present on our dedicated PITCH stages to over 150 judges.
We’ll be seeing six startups pitch every hour between 9.15am and 5pm on Tuesday, November 8 and from 9.15am to 1.15pm on Wednesday, November 9 for the Group Stages of this competition.
Each startup pitches for four minutes, followed by three minutes of Q&A with our judges.
One startup from each block will proceed to the semi-finals, which take place on Wednesday on PITCH Stages 1, 2 and 3 from 2.30pm to 4.30pm.
Three companies make it to the final on Web Summit Centre Stage on Thursday, November 10 to fight it out to become the best Web Summit startup for 2016.
