Powered by Techsylvania in partnership with Risky Business, Startup Avalanche is a launching platform connecting ambitious early-stage startups with experienced international VCs and investors.

Startup Avalanche is not just another pitching competition. Hundreds of startups from all around the world apply every year, yet less than 16 are accepted in the program.

Our credo is “show, don’t (just) tell”. Whether it’s AI, SaaS, IoT, Medtech/ e-health, Agritech, Ecotech, security, VR, legal tech, logistics or an emerging vertical, the rules are simple: it has to prove traction, scalability, value.
