TechBBQ for startups

TechBBQ isn’t just a conference—it’s a founder-focused event where startups are at the center of everything. Designed to accelerate growth and spark innovation, it connects startups and scaleups with international investors, corporates, and key ecosystem players through curated programs and tailored opportunities.

This year, over 10,000 attendees gathered in Copenhagen for a unique blend of high-quality networking, funding opportunities, and actionable industry insights. Startups thrived in our dedicated matchmaking area, enhanced by cutting-edge apps that made connecting with the right investors, partners, and collaborators seamless. With pitch sessions, hands-on workshops, and growth-focused initiatives, TechBBQ delivered everything founders needed to scale globally—all with our signature Danish hygge!

We came together on the 27–28th of August for an unforgettable experience!

With Brella, attendees can easily find and connect with investors, mentors, and industry experts who align with their goals.

The platform’s AI-powered matchmaking ensures that attendees meet the most relevant contacts, based on their startup’s stage, industry, and needs. One-on-one meetings can be scheduled directly, making it easier than ever to get the most out of TechBBQ.

This year, Brella helped attendees network smarter, not harder!
