Startup World Cup is world’s largest global pitch competition with a $1M investment prize. Startup World Cup is a series of global startup conferences and competitions, powered by Pegasus Tech Ventures. It consists of 100+ regional events across North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, leading up to the Grand Finale in Silicon Valley. The top startups from each regional event will fly out to the USA to compete for a $1,000,000 prize.
The 2025 Grand Finale brought together an exceptional lineup of venture capitalists from some of the world’s most influential independent VC firms – including Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners, Khosla Ventures, and Norwest who participated as judges and speakers.
The judging panel and speaker lineup also featured top-tier industry leaders, including:
- Lori Greiner, ABC Shark Tank star
- Court Lorenzini, Founder and former CEO of DocuSign
- Mark Papermaster, CTO at AMD
- Jessica Jensen, Chief Marketing & Strategy Officer at LinkedIn
- Michelle Zatlyn, Co-Founder and President of Cloudflare
- Cindy Stoddard, CIO at Adobe
In Lithuania, the Startup World Cup competition is organized by Sunrise Tech Park. The regional selection event traditionally takes place during LOGIN – the largest gathering of the innovation and technology community in the Baltic States.
In 2025, two Lithuanian companies advanced to the Grand Finale in San Francisco: BrachyDose, winners of the Baltic regional final organized by Sunrise Tech Park, and Traxlo, members of the Park’s community. After winning the Czech regional selection, Traxlo secured a spot among the top 90 startups worldwide.
This year, we invite startups to test their potential in the regional selection, which will take place during the LOGIN conference on May 28. Registration and more detailed information will be announced soon!
