Your startup is young, scalable & innovative. You have a (business) plan and your startup is in the pre-seed or seed stage. We aim for young & growing industries such as tech, internet of things, new media, sustainability, gaming, social entrepreneurship or 3D-printing but not exclusively.

Our partners will devote their time, attention & energy to fully prepare the startups and entrepreneurs to pitch and for their first (or second) financial close. Moreover, our intakes are the only days during which the startups will be selected for our Online Academy. After that the startups need to be selected again after a finance day and a pitch and selection day for our accelerator program: the Prepare Your Startup Academy. If you are not there, you cannot be selected for both the Academy and the qualifying Pitch Day. In other words: save the days!

Finalists of Present Your Startup receive much attention and publicity. We have carefully established a rich and growing network of big corporates, VC's and business angels. Introduction in this network will be of great value for your growing company. Participating in our program is a quality mark.

Everyone in our mailing list is considered to be within our network.

We will manage to boost the startup ecosystem and we will work together to make your startup an even bigger succes. Together we will take it to the next level. At this moment, we are talking about managing an incentive of €50.000 in cash for our final startups. We will be able to give your more details on this right before our finals.
How does it work?
For example: if you manage to fund your startup with €100.000 during our event, you will receive an invoice of €2000 from Present Your Startup (€2000 is 2% of the amount raised). This success fee will enable us to organize the event next year again. Your success will give other startups new opportunities!
