On 4 September, join us for a tech-startup showdown at Diia.City United FutureTech Meetup.

Pitch Grilling is a super opportunity for founders to present their ideas directly to leading investors and compete for support and mentorship from influential tech industry leaders.

Why You Should Apply

Real-World Feedback. Get instant, constructive feedback from people who have seen thousands of pitches and know exactly what works on the global stage — and what doesn’t. Sometimes, one sharp insight is worth more than any investment.

Visibility and Networking. Make your mark and showcase your vision to the leading players in the Ukrainian and international tech scene.

This Autumn’s Focus: Go Global

We’re looking for ambitious startups targeting international markets. Make sure your presentation addresses the key question: How will your product become Ukraine’s next global success story?

How It Works

Pitch Grilling is a dynamic exchange between your startup and our jury:

  • The Pitch: You get exactly three minutes to present your project. Pinpoint the problem, your unique solution, your business model, and your vision for global expansion.
  • The Grilling: Right after your pitch, be ready for rapid-fire questions from our expert panel. Will your idea survive the reality check?
  • Results: Winner announcement and awards ceremony.

Language: Pitches can be delivered in English or Ukrainian.

Ready to Take the Challenge? Apply now!

Submit your application and look out for an email from our co-organisers, the Ukrainian Startup Fund (USF).

Application Deadline: 27 August, 10:00 am

At Diia.City United, we believe Ukraine’s economic future lies with bold product companies. Every great success story started with an idea, a first pitch, a small startup. That’s why Pitch Grilling is an essential part of our meetups.
