Lausanne's Road to Start Summit is a pitch competition involving around ten startups from the Lausanne region against each other. The winner of this competition has the opportunity to participate in the Start Summit in St. Gallen, a major event that attracts hundreds of investors.
To qualify, startups must be at the seed stage or earlier, founded in 2023 or later, be active in deeptech, and operate as an independent legal entity. If you meet these criteria or are close, feel free to apply we’ll review applications in detail.
During the Start Summit, the winners from all RtSS events across Europe compete again in a pitch competition, and the overall winner receives a major prize.
Note that in case of a high volume of registrations, Start Lausanne may conduct a
pre-selection before the Road to Start Summit (RtSS).
