What to Expect?

So what can you expect?

Forget stuffy networking events. We’re talking high-energy pitch battles, relaxed VIP dinners where real deals happen, and our legendary matchmaking sessions that have sparked countless successful partnerships.

Whether you’re hunting for your next investment, looking to scale your startup, or eager to dive into emerging tech trends, you’ll find your tribe here.

No boring lectures, just pure, actionable insights and real connections that could transform your business journey.

How Should You Prepare?

Start preparing now – the early bird really does catch the investor!

Begin by polishing your pitch deck to perfection (keep it snappy at 10 slides max) and crafting a killer one-pager that showcases your latest traction. The pitch competition is a huge opportunity, so submit your application early to grab those limited slots.

The real work happens in April and May. Lock down your elevator pitch until you can deliver it in your sleep, and make sure your product demo is foolproof. Think visual, think memorable – QR codes for instant pitch deck sharing, eye-catching booth designs, and crystal-clear goals for what you want to achieve.

Then amp up your digital game – start engaging with #StartupsWorld2025, connect with attendees through the event app, and do your homework on attending investors.

In the final week, schedule those coffee chats with target investors, prep your team, and yes, print those business cards (trust us, they still work wonders in Porto!).

The secret sauce? Don’t wait for the conference to start networking. The real magic happens in the prep work – the more you connect beforehand, the more meaningful your conference experience will be.

Remember, investors aren’t just buying your product; they’re buying into you and your vision. Make every interaction count!
