What is the RISE startup programme?
Our startup programme – ALPHA – offers you the chance to join our global community of startups leading across all industries touched by tech. If your startup is selected by our team, you’ll receive three tickets to RISE and the opportunity to network with thousands of attendees. You can also access our startup activations – including our PITCH competition, Mentor Hours, masterclasses and roundtable discussions.
- Brand awareness - RISE gathers journalists from the world’s leading media outlets, getting your company’s story out to a global audience. Meet future customers and the most influential voices in tech as they search for the next big thing.
- Funding - Connect with investors from global funds and LPs. Investor to startup meetings are a series of pre-arranged sessions introducing selected startups to the investors that can show them the best next steps.
- Networking - Networking begins before the conference does, as you can generate leads, chat with others in your field and arrange meetings through the RISE app. Use the app to discover people and companies you want to meet.
- Recruitment - Finding the right tech talent can be a challenge for any startup. At RISE, you’ll be surrounded by some of the world’s top talent. Alternatively, if you are on the lookout for a new career path, you could find it at RISE.
What happens when I apply?
- Call with our specialist startup team - Share your company’s objectives and plans for the tech conference with our startup experts. We want to know what makes you stand out from the pack.
- Assessment & selection - Our startups team dedicate tens of thousands of hours each year to finding the emerging entrepreneurs with the highest potential to succeed, and inviting them to join us at RISE.
- Prepare for an event – your way - RISE starts with your event apps. Plan for a great conference by networking with other attendees, booking meetings with exciting companies, or applying for our startup activations, including PITCH and Mentor Hours.
