Kyiv, Ukraine – Get ready for a high-stakes evening of innovation and candid feedback. As part of the Challenger Accelerator 4.0 program, Civitta and Radar Tech are hosting the Challenger Startup Roast on October 14 in Kyiv. This unique event is designed as the ultimate “crash test” for early-stage EdTech, HealthTech, and AI startups, offering them a chance to pitch their solutions and face unfiltered critique from seasoned investors and industry experts.
The Challenger Startup Roast isn’t just another pitch night. It’s a crucible where promising MVP-stage startups can test the resilience and market appeal of their ideas. The goal is to provide founders with brutally honest feedback, helping them refine their strategies, strengthen their financial attractiveness, and get one crucial step closer to securing investment.
The competition will be fierce, as only 12 elite teams will be selected to present their ventures. These startups will not only gain invaluable insights but will also compete for a significant prize: the top three performers will each receive two tickets to the prestigious RESTART conference, a key event for networking and growth in the tech ecosystem.
Beyond the pitches, the event promises a dynamic networking environment, connecting founders, investors, and tech enthusiasts. The entire event will be conducted in English, fostering a truly international atmosphere.
How to Get Involved:
- For Startups: If you are an EdTech, HealthTech, or AI startup with a working MVP and are ready to put your solution to the test, this is your moment. Applications must be submitted by the deadline on October 9.
- For Guests: Attendance is free for those interested in witnessing the future of tech unfold. However, spots are limited, and pre-registration is mandatory to secure a place.
