What is the Global Startup Competition?

The Global Startup Competition is a brand-new competition organised by AngelHub & WHub as part of the Startup Impact Summit 2020, one day of the StartmeupHK Festival week. The initiative aims to find the best tech startups around the globe that are scaling in Asia and to unleash their full potential by providing them with visibility, network, and funding needed to grow. 

The Global Startup Competition (GSC) runs a series of 10+ startup competitions across EMEA and Asia and brings together prominent startups, investors and corporates from each of these regions. 

All regional winners will then be invited to compete and showcase themselves at the GSC Grand Finale event at SIS20 in Hong Kong,standing in front of over 3,000+ attendees and key stakeholders of the innovation and tech ecosystem. They will seize the opportunity to win up to USD1,000,000 in equity investment* and up to USD10,000 in cash prize money, and will receive a fixed cash prize to cover travel costs (amount varies by region) **. 

*The winners must comply with the terms & conditions established by AngelHub, as well as its disclaimers. Prizes will be awarded in the form of cash investment in exchange for equity shares in the startup through AngelHub’s investment platform.
