Startup information

Your Partner Success Manager will send you a review sheet template where you will input your Startup's information. Partners are required to input each one of their Startup’s information on the review sheet

• Partners must NOT share this sheet with their Startups 

• If approved, they will be assigned to the relevant track (ALPHA, BETA or GROWTH)

Startups must abide by the following requirements to be accepted:

ALPHA – To qualify for the ALPHA track typically, the startup can have raised up to US$1 million in funding

BETA – To qualify for the BETA track typically, the startup can have raised between US$1 million to US$5 million in funding

GROWTH  – To qualify for the GROWTH track typically, the startup will have raised more than US$5 million in funding

• Must be less than 5 years old

• Must have their own unique software product or solutions or they must be working on their own connected hardware devices

• Startups must be their own independent company and not a subsidiary of a larger organisation

• The startup must be launched and live with their own working website at a minimum

• The startup cannot already be registered to exhibit at the event

• The startup must have a logo available in .eps format

Startups submitted that do not meet the above criteria will not be accepted. This can lead to delays in the onboarding of approved startups.

For any unsuccessful startups, Partners will be given the opportunity to find replacements within an agreed timeline. If a Partner remains with unused Startup packages by Friday, May 12, the packages will be exchanged for three general attendee tickets.
