The Startup Lighthouse Awards
Celebrating the top 20 startups that rocked our ‘Deep Dive Weeks’
Meet our top 20 startups!
At this annual event, we celebrated the top 20 startups that rocked our ‘Deep Dive Weeks’ in Dublin, Berlin, Lisbon and the Baltics. The event was held at TechChill, the “hottest” winter event for startups, in Riga, Latvia, on Friday, 22 February (see more below!).
Our top 20 were given the chance to attend TechChill, as well as special benefits like a space at the Startup Lounge and the Investors Forum (read more on our blog). And there’s more – the top 10 were presented with a special award and exciting prizes, like 1-month residencies at co-working spaces abroad, to continuing their journey of scaling internationally.
Spread across 15 different countries, these teams have global ambitions and represent diverse verticals, such as Blockchain, Travel Tech, Industrial IoT and Analytics.
