PAST EVENTS

A look back at a decade of Startupfest

For the last decade, Startupfest has connected founders and ecosystem players to help them build world-class companies. But inspiring, connecting and supporting startup founders are table stakes for any Startup event. Startupfest has always differentiated itself from other events by creating spectacular festival environments, being openly inclusive, and taking risks to do new and interesting things. We’re known for hands-on content and unexpected formats, from elevator pitches in actual elevators, to assembling fleets of boats, to our grandmother judges.

The Startupfest Village - not to be missed

The Startupfest Village is an environment that encourages people to look away from their screens, and make real-time connections. We have over 30 spaces, ranging from themed sectors, to demo spaces, pitch competitions and geographic divisions. The Village puts you in the same physical space, with all of the people you want to meet.

The speakers & mentors

Well over 1,000 speakers have taken the stage in the last decade and given of their time generously to inspire and educate our Startupfest community.
