Startup Grind Pitch Battle Royale: Georgia

Startup Grind Tbilisi, together with the Ilia State University Startup Grind Chapter, will host the local Pitch Battle as part of the global Startup Grind Pitch Battle Royale.

Pitch Battle Royale is a high-energy, international pitch competition for early-stage startups that spotlights bold founders and innovative ideas through live pitching, expert feedback, and multi-stage advancement — all culminating in the chance to be crowned champion and gain meaningful exposure.

Local Startup Grind chapters host the first round of competition, where startups battle it out in one of three stages—Idea, Development, or Traction—for the chance to advance to the Semi Finals and Finals.

Whether you’re pitching or attending, expect high-energy competition, sharp ideas, and meaningful connections.

Startups compete in the stage that best matches their progress:

 Idea Stage – Early concepts, validation, or pre-MVP
 Development Stage – Building, testing, or launching a product
 Traction Stage – Users, revenue, pilots, or early scale (up to Series A)

Each startup delivers:
● A 2-minute pitch
● Up to 3 slides
● Live Q&A and feedback from judges

 What’s at Stake?
