Networking is a key component of any conference, and despite our “unconference” vibe at TNW2019, we’re definitely all about making new connections. That’s why we have dedicated matchmaking opportunities on May 9 and 10 – especially for startups.
As a startup, you can meet countless investors, mentors, corporates, and media to help take your company to the next level. With our startup program, you’ll gain access to the full TNW Conference content, as well as exclusive access to our matchmaking platform and our side events. You can apply now for the chance to join us at TNW2019, where you’ll make lasting connections to help you grow.
Achieve your goals
On top of gaining access to the full two days of the conference, we’ll go the extra mile to ensure you get the most out of your time. Get curated one-on-one meetings with top investors and mentors through our in-house matchmaking platform. Last year, more than 350 startups had 3,800 meetings, and the platform received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
The Startup Pass also gives you the opportunity to put your name out there. Grab the media’s attention by signing up for our Pitch Battle, where the top 50 finalists will showcase their startup in front of the press and investors. You’ll only be able to apply with a Startup Pass!
On top of that, you’ll have the chance to join our amazing side events. Sometimes, the best networking is done over a drink – that’s why our program will let you foster relationships before and after the conference, too.
