STARTUPS: How to Participate

• Existing Connect Öst Member startups can apply to pitch for the Morning Live Pitch Stream via this link
• Startups from August 2025 Round can apply to pitch at the Connect Pitch Meetup / AW via our regular startup page here to pass through screening steps – post assessment they will either get a chance to pitch in the morning or evening AW

Startup selection is competitive, and only finalists will be contacted with next steps. We cannot provide individual feedback to applicants. All pitches must be max 3 minutes in English. Connect’s role is to shorten entrepreneurs’ path to success, but we do not invest in startups nor take responsibility for business outcomes or risks. As the event is public, live streamed, recorded, and later shared with our community, please avoid including anything confidential and ensure all information is accurate.
