QUICK CHECK BEFORE CHECKOUT
Startup tickets come at a reduced rate – so young companies can actually afford to be in the room. Before you check out, make sure you tick all three boxes:
- Founded in 2016 or later
- Fewer than 11 employees
- A scalable business model We define scalability by the ability to scale revenue without linearly scaling headcount. The opposite is a traditional billable-hour model like an agency or consultancy. If you are an agency or consultancy, please choose the Ecosystem Ticket.
If any of these don't match your business, another category is likely the better fit.

Media tickets are intended for journalists and editorial press teams. We have a limited number of passes available, and therefore prioritize outlets with significant following and journalists who show a track record of writing about startups, technology, or venture capital. Freelancers, podcasters, bloggers, videographers, content creators and other individual contributors are also welcome to apply but will be screened more thoroughly for relevance.
Please apply here: Accreditation Form.
Communications and PR professionals and non-editorial employees of media companies are kindly advised to purchase the Ecosystem Pass.
