About this event

  • Event lasts 1 day 10 hours
  • UNDER 14 WITH PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN
  • Paid venue parking

A two-day gathering in Lisbon for founders, investors, and innovators who want to keep things real, share stories, build honest relationships, and grow businesses that matter.

Why come?

In a world of big promises and even bigger hype, Startup Summit Lisbon is about getting back to what matters most:

  • Honest conversations.
  • Strong partnerships.
  • Clear ideas that solve real problems.

It’s two days to step out of your inbox, meet people face-to-face, and build connections that last longer than a LinkedIn follow.

What’s it all about?

Over the two days you’ll find:

  • Open, down-to-earth panels and fireside chats where speakers actually share what went wrong, not just polished wins.
  • Founders pitching from the heart, not just the deck.
  • Investors walking the floor, talking to startups not just about raising money, but about where the world’s heading.
  • Masterclasses where people roll up sleeves and work through challenges together.

Why show up?

  • If you’re a founder: This is your chance to put your story on the map. Showcase your startup in a way that’s personal, not just transactional. Find early customers, partners, and investors who genuinely care.
  • If you’re an investor: Meet driven founders who are solving real problems, not just chasing the next buzzword. Get a deeper feel for people beyond the pitch deck.
  • If you’re building anything new: Get fresh perspectives, test ideas, and find allies who’ll stay in your corner long after the summit ends.
