Startup World Cup 2026 Grand Finale

On Nov 6, a startup will walk away with $1,000,000. I'd love for you to be in the room.

The Startup World Cup 2026 Grand Finale is coming to San Francisco, and I'm bringing my community. Founders from around the world will take the stage, with 300+ VCs and investors watching. Leaders from Tesla, Uber, Waymo, Google Cloud, ServiceNow, and Samsung will be there too.

Featured judges and speakers include:
Marc Tarpenning (Tesla), Sachin Kansal (Uber), Suzanne Philion (Waymo), Will Grannis (Google Cloud), Paul Fipps (ServiceNow), Rajesh Swaminathan (Khosla Ventures), Rachel Slaybaugh (DCVC), Jihong Kim (Samsung), Scott Beechuk (Norwest Venture Partners), and Jaya Gupta (Foundation Capital).

The prize is only part of the story. Partnerships begin, companies get discovered, and the connections made in one room can shape the next few years.
