Showcase your startup to some of the most influential minds and brands ever assembled with members from Greylock Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Google, Vice, Samsung, and more.

WORLDZ is seeking early-stage startups looking to shape the world of tomorrow to join our annual LaunchPad pitch competition at WORLDZ September 10 & 11, 2019. Applications are now closed.

"WORLDZ helped me to connect with influencers who I had been trying to connect with for months... and [who] have since become brand ambassadors for Mighty Well. As a startup, it was inspiring to learn from brands that we have looked up to for years and are trying to model our company after. I can't wait to attend in 2019!"

- Emily Levy, CEO & Co-Founder, Mighty Well
