24six9 Dubai Chapter presents the Annual Start-up Springboard, a once-in-a-year opportunity for tech start-ups to face a panel of investors.
A Special Edition collaborating with DFHQ and supported by Gingo Foundation.
Once a year, a handful of start-ups get in front of a panel of investors who are ready to find the next star.
THIS is that moment.
The Annual Startup Springboard - Dubai Edition - is not a networking event. It’s not a workshop. It’s a high-stakes pitch opportunity where the founders in that room have earned their place, and the investors across the table are there for one reason: to back the ones they believe in.
Getting to the stage isn’t easy. Submissions are open now, but there’s a criteria to meet and a pitch deck to submit. Those who make the cut go through an interview before they ever touch a mic. If you’re selected, you’ll have 4 minutes in front of a panel of 10 investors - every second counts, every word matters.
In collaboration with a special Angels investor crew, things are going to heat up fast.
Think you’re ready?Submit your pitch deck by November 26, 2026. Late submissions will not be considered: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/hcENWaL6G4
Who should attend:Founders, aspiring founders, failed founders, investors, and overall curious minds in tech - come ready.
