// Every week, around the world, a city goes live //

What started in Seattle has expanded to over 115 cities in over 48 countries and spawned new formats as demand continues to grow.

Each week you can find something exciting happening somewhere in the world.

The best experience is in person, but we occasionally offer great online events, too.

// Event Formats

In local city competitions around the world, attendees connect with peers, watch startups pitch, and vote on the winner.

Most events are held in person, with a few hybrid events livestreaming.

For each episode, our Center Stage showcase visits a different city around the world to offer a pregame review of news, attendee visits, and interviews with founders. Then we join the pitch competition LIVE!

Our pilot season is complete but watch for Season 2 coming from Europe in 2024….

Each Fall, the top five startups in each region, including our Pitch Challenge regional winners, compete in our LIVE Prime Time tournament to battle in the Global Finals for $10,000 in cash and prizes. YOUR VOTES decide the winner!
