One does not simply wake up a unicorn…

Behind every successful tech company lies a lot of hard work, dedication and, in many cases, luck – being in the right place at the right time. Fortunately, we can help out with the latter.

Over the past few years, we’ve perfected the art of helping startups secure the capital, coverage and customers they need to grow.

At our conferences, they’re given the opportunity to show international tech influencers, investors and journalists the next game-changers. And it works – many of the startups have gone on to do great things.

We’re bringing our startup program to the Big Apple

It’s our fourth annual TNW Conference in the US, but we’re rebranding it to Momentum. Focused on quality, not quantity, Momentum will see 5,000 influential attendees come together to network, do business, and explore some awesome startups.

In accordance with this theme, our startup-program participants will also be cherry-picked: Instead of the 150 companies usually invited to TNW Conference, just 60 will be selected to exhibit at Momentum 2016.

The 💜 of EU tech

The latest rumblings from the EU tech scene, a story from our wise ol' founder Boris, and some questionable AI art. It's free, every week, in your inbox. Sign up now!

For investors, press and attendees this means they’ll be presented with nothing but the cream of the crop of the startup world. For startups, it means greater visibility with influencers, investors and press, plus an increased chance of  one-on-one time with the right people.

And a great new approach needs a fitting name, so we went with SCALE – because that’s exactly what our startups will do.
