What is the ticketing and refund policy?

- We do not allow refunds. If you can no longer attend the event, we will allow the transfer of your ticket to another name.
Who should register for Startupfest?
- We encourage active startups, investors, and accredited media to register for Startupfest! Startup tickets are recommended for founders and employees of young startups (less than 5 years in the making) in, but not limited to, technology and innovation industries. Startups are not a large corporation, a government, a mentor, or a service provider.
What is the difference between ‘Startup’ and ‘All Other’ ticket packages?
- Both ticket packages include the same festival experience, however, you will be classified as ‘Startup’ or ‘Other’ which can have an impact on your networking or matchmaking activities.
The ticket packages are priced differently because our event is dedicated to startups, so we do our best to make the “Startup” ticket as low as possible. We ask investors, partners, and service providers to purchase the “All Others” package to help keep Startupfest affordable for startups.
Are there group rates available?
- Yes! Send a message to info@startupfest.com to learn more about our group prices and discounts.
