eXit 2.0 Conference continues to accept applications from startups to participate in the startup competition. As part of the competition, more than 200 technology companies will have the opportunity to present themselves to investors, and the top 50 startups will reach the semi-finals and EXPO, where they can showcase their projects to representatives of corporations, funds, and the media.
Winners and participants of the competition can expect quality networking, feedback from leading experts, as well as valuable gifts in the nominations of partners – VTB Accelerator, Startup Leadership Program, Startech.VC, Kama Flow. In addition, based on the results of eXit 2.0, a report "Top 100 Technology Companies of the Conference" will be prepared jointly with the VTB Accelerator.
The most anticipated prize of the competition will be the nomination for the best project according to the venture fund Malina VC. The winner will receive an investment of approximately 20 million rubles in a project with revenue at the intersection of Fintech, B2B and B2C SaaS at the seed or early Series A stage. This is a unique opportunity for startups to attract investment and take their project to a new level right at the conference.
"eXit 2.0 brings together all players in the venture market and its main task is matching efficiency: how many useful 'connections' can be extracted from it. For participants, this is an opportunity to access each other in one place and in one day and make good use of this time. Prepare and ensure that after the conference everyone has a lot of work and no thoughts about the fading business season", – shares Anton Pronin, managing partner of the Malina VC fund, founder of the business development ecosystem TheQube.vc.
This is exactly what happened with the participants of the eXit 1.0 startup competition – Xenia AI. The May conference, thanks to a meeting with Nikita Bugrov, Head of Innovations at HeadHunter Group, launched its cooperation with HeadHunter and led to the launch of a pilot project, which is currently in the testing stage. The founder of the Xenia AI startup notes that acquaintances at the event became a real asset, and the visible results of integrations with new partners make the product stronger and more attractive, which gives a tangible advantage in the B2B market, especially in HR Tech.
Unlike the first event, this time the focus will be on scale-ups – growing technology companies with a turnover of 50 million rubles per year, which will announce their successes, learn about new opportunities for scaling their business and find partners to expand their team and enter new markets, as happened with the participant of eXit 1.0 – the Pruffme project, which became part of the Yandex 360 digital space. For investors and business angels, this is a valuable opportunity to get acquainted with already working projects and help them find answers to pressing questions for creating a new reality for all participants in the investment market.
All STARTUP and SCALEUP ticket holders are invited to free mentoring online sessions with representatives of market-leading companies – Alfa-Bank, Solar Group, Kama Flow, Softline. The full schedule of sessions can be found on the conference website. Entrepreneurs will be able to meet with mentors, ask pressing questions and get practical advice on partnering with large corporations using real-world examples.
