Alpha Program
Time remaining to apply
Join the World's Leading Startups for FREE
Each week we're selecting 10 early stage startups from around the world to exhibit for free as part of our Alpha Program. How can we do that? Simple! We charge bigger tech companies €9,950 to exhibit, and make it free for incredible startups. If you're selected, all you'll pay is the price of two ordinary tickets, and we'll give you a free exhibition stand, along with two tickets and a lot more. It only takes a minute to apply, and could change the course of your startup forever.
Startups
They're some of the most successful startups in the world. They come for a reason
Vine attended, so did Stripe. As did Waze. Did we mention Coursera? What about Uber? These are the type of CEO's who don't take holidays. They come for a reason. They dreamt big, and now they are. They've always been hungry to meet potential partners, board members, investors, journalists and more. What about you?
Networking
A who’s who of the world’s most innovative companies
Jack Dorsey came to "meet people and to explore the city". If you're selected to be part of Web Summit's startup program then we build networking opportunities for you. We line up meetings with investors, media, partners and more. Of course you can just attend by buying a ticket, or you can apply. It's free to apply. Opportunities to connect don’t end at 5pm. Web Summit By Night, a series of dinners and parties, will take over Dublin city centre for two days of networking Irish-style.
Investors
Arguably the world's largest and leading startup and investor event
Andreessen Horowitz, Accel, Atomico, Google Ventures, Goldman Sachs, 500 Startups and more "come to find the next Google or Facebook" in the words of Skype founder and investor Niklas Zennstrom. With over 200 investors, including every major fund globally, in one room, shouldn't you be there?
