SaaStock Europe – Global Pitch 2026
Competition
SaaStock's own competition runs as a knockout across the conference: opening rounds at the pre-conference Startup Day, semi-finals during the event and the final on the main stage. At the 2025 Dublin edition a top 50 pitched on day one, 20 went through on day two and five reached the main-stage final, judged in front of VCs from funds including Octopus Ventures, Antler and Frontline Ventures. The winner took an investment package worth up to EUR 1 million; earlier editions carried a EUR 200,000 package. Finalists also get exposure to the SaaStock investor and operator community. · The prize is an investment package, so the winning company negotiates terms with the participating funds; SaaStock does not publish a fixed equity stake.
