Startup Simple
For founders who want to be in the room, learn fast, and build the right network.
PERKS
- Includes 1 ticket only
- Badge labelled as “Startup”
- Access to Startup Lounge and Startup Studio
- Access to Event App
- Access to SIM Conference during both days: talks, workshops, connecting circles and matchmaking events (subject to registration)
Startup Simple is ideal for first-time founders, early-stage teams not ready to showcase yet, or more experienced founders who prefer to focus on meetings and content rather than booth visibility. Startup information can also be shared with investors if the follow-up form is completed after purchase.
Is SIM for my startup?
SIM is for startups at different stages, with different goals.
If you want to put your product in front of investors, media, and ecosystem decision-makers, the Startup Showcase ticket is your best fit.
If you want to join the event, attend content, activate meetings through the app, and build relationships without showcasing, Startup Simple may be the right option.
What both paths have in common is access to a curated environment designed to make networking more relevant and less random. SIM brings founders, investors, corporates, and ecosystem builders into the same room, with formats that help turn conversations into follow-up.
What you get from SIM
SIM is not just about attending sessions. It is about making the right connections in the right context.
Visibility that goes beyond a logo
Showcase your startup, be present where investors and media are actively circulating, and make it easier for the right people to discover what you’re building.
Investor access with more structure
From app-based meetings to Speed Dating and matching activities, SIM helps compress months of outreach into two focused days. That matches the event’s own startup messaging and the founder personas defined for 2026.
A stronger network, before you need it
Meet founders, operators, incubators, corporates, and ecosystem players in one place. Even if you are not raising right now, SIM helps you build the relationships that matter later.
FAQ
Will I actually meet investors?

Is it worth it if I’m not fundraising right now?
Yes. SIM is also about partnerships, visibility, market learning, and strengthening your network. For many founders, the value is not only investor meetings, but also future opportunities opened through the people they meet there.
