About

Your chance for a spotlight

Fifty Founders Battle is TechChill’s annual pitch competition for early-stage startups. Fifty of the most promising startups from across the Baltics, Nordics, Central and Western European regions as well as the rest of the world will be selected among all participants. Each semi-finalist will then have the opportunity to present their business idea on TechChill’s stage in front of over 200 investors and other attendees.

How we pick the lucky 50

All eligible applications will be evaluated by VCs, accelerators, angel investors, and industry experts. In the first phase, the evaluators will focus on the business idea, its scalability, the team behind it, and the overall quality of the application.
 
The fifty companies with the highest average scores will receive a confirmation. So.. channel your inner Jason Bourne and stay alert.

Who can apply

 Stage & Previous funding

Your startup has not received more than 300k EUR in exchange for equity. Grants are fine. Most likely, the company is not older than 3 years, but there could be exceptions.

Marketplaces, deeptech, and anything between

The 2023 competition is sector-agnostic. What it means in practice is that the applications are open to everyone regardless of their represented industry. The fifty best startups will then be split into five groups which make the most sense.

No country restrictions, but...

You’re welcome to apply regardless of where you are based. We usually get applications from more than 30 countries.
 
HOWEVER, you must be able to join the event in-person so you can pitch live.
 
We don’t accept applications from Russia and Belarus.
