💡 What You’ll Learn

Our judges will share what they look for in a pitch and how they evaluate opportunities. Their candid feedback will give you takeaways you can apply whether you’re building, investing, or simply curious about the startup world.

🌍 Meet the startup community

It’s also about community. You’ll connect with Rotterdam’s founders, innovators, and startup enthusiasts, expand your network, and celebrate as one startup is crowned the city’s All-Star Champion — earning their place in the Semi-Finals on the road to the global stage.
