Startup Summit Competition
Applications are closed for the 2021 competition. Interested in applying next year? Sign up to the newsletter and we'll keep you updated with future opportunities!
Each year, FutureX accepts a cohort of rising tech leaders on their Silicon Valley Scale programme, where they are given the opportunity to connect with some of the global players in the tech industry and pitch to potential investors. Previous cohorts have met with execs from Airbnb, Facebook, Survey Monkey, RocketSpace, Y Combinator, Waze, Threshold and more. The SVS programme alumni include some of the UK’s leading tech entrepreneurs, who have collectively raised over £110M in investment.
The Startup Summit Competition offers startups the opportunity to win a fully funded place on the 2022 SVS programme, plus a massive business support package worth over £100k from our partners at Johnston Carmichael, STV, ClearSky Logic, AAI, Pencil and Vonage. The final of the Competition takes place at Startup Summit, where three finalists will pitch to our expert judging panel for a chance to win the top prize.
