STARTUPS


I WANT TO PARTICIPATE AS A STARTUP. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

If you would like to participate as a startup, please check out the ticket options here. There are on-site (in Wrocław) and online (in Brella) options available. All ticket types give you access to the event and matchmaking app, and there are additional benefits available.

I HAVE TECHNICAL ISSUES WITH THE APPLICATION FORM / MATCHMAKING / BUYING A TICKET. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

If there are any technical issues with your matchmaking account, application form, or tickets, please contact us at cs@wolvessummit.com

You can direct all other questions about participating as a startup to startups@wolvessummit.com.

We will communicate all the important information to the email address you used in the application for the ticket/Great Pitch Contest. We strongly encourage you to put your business email address (with your company name as a domain, i.e. not a Gmail one) as a point of contact for us. This way, it will be easier for our Startup team to resolve any arising issues if there will be some. Please note that it’s not possible to change your email address to a different one once you submit it to us. All the communication from the Wolves Team will be coming to the email address you submitted initially.

I WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE GREAT PITCH CONTEST. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

If you would like to be considered as a participant at the Great Pitch Contest, you need to buy a startup ticket here. Guaranteed pitching places were available with a Startup In-Person Package (Pitching + Expo), however the pitching spots were sold out.

Once we receive your submission, we will check your pitch deck, and if you are selected by our Startup team, we will inform you by email before May 15th, 2023. Then you will need to confirm your participation and the time slot of your pitch to us - you need to do it by replying to the email with information about pitching from startups@wolvessummit.com
