The WorldFestival 2023 Startup Awards is the world’s largest startup awards program identifying and recognizing global innovation, with 15,000+ members voting on 3,000+ startups. The Top 50 Startups receive the coveted honor of an in-person expo booth and on-stage demo at WorldFestival 2023 in San Mateo, CA, Aug 15-16, and a live, virtual demo to a global audience, Aug 22-23. All nominees receive complimentary passes to WorldFestival 2023 and a digital nominee badge to let your customers & community know of your company’s success.
The WorldFestival Startup Awards consists of 3 Stages.
Crowd Voting Stage, Committee Voting Stage, and Top 50 Startup Pitches. View the timeline below.
How it Works
The selection of the Top 50 Startups will be based 50% on crowd vote and 50% on committee vote. We do not simply add up all crowd and committee votes, we will “rank” all startups by crowd vote, we will rank all startups by committee vote. and will then add up the ranking scores.
Below is the WorldFestival Startup Awards Timeline.
