Startup showcase FAQs

Does applying guarantee a showcase place?

No. Submitting an application is an expression of interest, not a confirmed booking. Confirm participation details with the Step team before making plans.

Is the startup showcase the same as the pitch competition?

No. Showcasing and pitching are different opportunities. Review the pitch competition page for information about that program.
