On 31 August 2018, 10 of Dominican Republic’s best seed-stage startups will compete to represent the country at the Seedstars Summit and win up to US$1 million in equity investments and other prizes.
Seedstars World, the largest startup competition for emerging markets and fast-growing startup scenes is coming to Dominican Republic for the third time. The event organizers say that they are working with local host PYHEXWork to prepare the Seedstars event that will be held on 31 August 2018 at 3pm.
The companies selected to pitch at the Seedstars Santo Domingo event need to be less than 2 years old, have raised less than US$500,000 in funding and built a minimum viable product, ideally with existing traction. The Seedstars team is searching for one additional criterion: the startup’s regional and global scalability. With a strong network of international partners, such as Merck, SPECo, Enel or Continental (among others) the competition organizers are looking for smart startups that tackle regional issues and develop profitable and sustainable products for the global market.
The applications are open until 17th of August and startups are invited to apply at https://seedsta.rs/santo-domingo.
After a careful screening, the Seedstars team will shortlist 10 of the best seed-stage startups in Santo Domingo to pitch on August 31st for the opportunity to compete at the Seedstars Summit, that annually takes place in Switzerland.
“Seedstars World is a platform that connects investors and stakeholders with the next generation of entrepreneurs. Since this will be our third time organizing the event at Santo Domingo, the stakes are high and we are very excited. We’ve been in this ecosystem for more than 2 years now and know there are companies in Dominican Republic developing high-quality products. We are looking for the best and will take it with us to Switzerland in 2019!”, says Juliane Butty, Regional Manager for Latam at Seedstars.
