The Road to START Summit is a series of events organized by START chapters throughout Europe. These events serve as warm-up gatherings leading up to the START Summit, which will be held in St. Gallen. The goal of these events is to identify promising start-ups that will represent START Munich at the START Summit and pitch their start-up in St. Gallen.
It will take place on December 9th 2024 at the Google office. The following START Summit in St. Gallen will be in March 2025.
Early-stage start-ups
The Road to START Hack serves as a warm-up hackathon for the START Summit. RTSH is a weekend-long event where students from around the world come together to work on new software and/or hardware projects. Therefore, the Road to START Hack is a hackathon, whereas the Road to START Summit is a pitching competition.
We are happy to connect with students passionate about innovation and entrepreneurship of all backgrounds, as well as partners open to collaboration with driven students and looking for stellar talent in Munich’s ecosystem.
