X-PITCH is once more inviting early-stage startups, extending its renowned competition to Singapore. Referred to as the X Games for startups, participants undergo a sequence of high-intensity pitch challenges (ranging from 15 seconds to 60 seconds and 3 minutes) with the aim of securing awards and investments.

In the X Games for Startups, contestants win awards and investments through a series of high-intensity pitches. X-PITCH is not only a challenge but also a fantastic opportunity for founders to drastically improve their pitch and re-examine their business. Since 2018, the contest has been held in skyscraper elevators, self-driving buses, and MRTs. This year, the event will take place on the Singapore River.

As a landmark startup contest in Asia, X-PITCH has attracted more than 8,000 startups and 100,000 people from over fifty countries in the past two years. Winners have successfully raised a total of US$38 million through the event and connected with investors, corporates, government agencies, and accelerators for collaboration.

“We are hosting X-PITCH in Singapore for the first time. Through this platform, we hope to help startups from all over the world connect to the vibrant market of the city-state and Southeast Asia. Like previous years, the competition format is also a global first. This time, we are going to do it on bumboats!” said K. Yu, Organising Committee Chair of X-PITCH 2023.
