#1 TNW for startups

With the Bootstrap and Scale-up packages, startups can showcase their product to investors, change-makers, and potential customers.
If you’re actively seeking funding, want to grow your business, or build brand awareness, joining TNW for Startups is a must.
The program offers optimal exposure to customers, investors, and the media, providing startups with visibility from international industry leaders, policymakers, and investors.
It is a chance to secure your presence in tech’s future. However, you have to meet certain criteria including:

When you purchase a TNW for Startups package, you get access to 3 business passes, the possibility to participate in a Pitch Battle. In addition, you get elevated access to investors.
#2 Sector Spotlights
TNW will select companies participating in the TNW for Startups program for various Sector Spotlights. These are speaking sessions dedicated to specific topics that range from tech for good to AI and deep tech.
During these sessions, the selected startups present the disruptive potential of their technology. After this, the attending investors and audience will vote on who demonstrates the most promise to transform the sector in question.
#3 Pitch Battle Finale
The stakes continue to rise as the winners from each Sector Spotlight advance to the Pitch Battle Finale.
During the Pitch Battle Finale you get an opportunity to get in front of a panel of judges made up of investors, journalists, executives, and industry leaders. This is to decide who has the best and brightest idea of TNW 2023!
The TNW Conference’s Sector Spotlights and Pitch Battle Finale represent an exciting journey that celebrates innovation, disruption, and excellence.
It is indeed a chance to gain unprecedented exposure, connect with influential figures, and secure the resources you need to take your startup to soaring heights.

Through the TNW for Investors programme, investors can enjoy comprehensively curated and personalised experiences, and save time on research by getting access to all participating startups.
The Investors Lounge provides a platform to generate visibility for your fund and facilitates meaningful interactions with entrepreneurs and financiers who are shaping tech’s future.
Additionally, TNW goes the extra mile to ensure investors have access to mentoring opportunities, matchmaking support, and other resources that enhance the overall conference experience and foster new business prospects.
Whether you’re in search of the next unicorn or dragon in the tech world, looking to benchmark your portfolio against similar companies, aiming to expand your international network, or seeking to enhance the visibility of your fund, this event is where you’ll find your rightful place in the future of tech investment.
#5 Equal opportunity and access
Well, TNW believes that equal opportunity and access to the tech scene are crucial for a better and brighter future.
While progress in achieving greater diversity may be slow, TNW is dedicated to amplifying the voices of the underrepresented.
Through initiatives like Women in Tech, Under 30s, and Group ticket options, TNW aims to create opportunities and facilitate access to world-class events.
#6 Impressive lineup of speakers
One of the key highlights of the conference is the diverse lineup of over 270 speakers, who will share their expertise and first-hand experiences in tech.
These speakers will cover industry-leading themes such as Digital Commerce, Future Tech, Inclusive Tech, and the Creator Economy.
What did previous attendees say?
Pol Fañanás, VALIDATED ID says, “ROI on steroids. We met our lead investor at TNW and raised a €2M seed round.”
David Thacker, NerdVision says, “We launched our funding effort at TNW. TNW connected us with so many investors that I was in back-to-back meetings the entire two days and did not get to see one session! The startup pitch battle for us was pretty successful. It drove a lot of traffic to our booth (my colleague managed it). And I have had a surprisingly large number of people contact/ connect with me on LinkedIn due to the pitch battle, so I would say that’s a result! I had never done a presentation in front of an audience like that – it all just been on Zoom. TNW was a fantastic introduction to the startup world – before this, we had not been to a single startup event.”
