Startup Alley will be the “pulsing heart” of TechCrunch Disrupt Berlin 2018, where hundreds of pre-series A startups will showcase their tech talent, products, platforms and services to more than 3,000 attendees and more than 300 hundred media outlets.

More than 400 early-stage startups — including companies that earned the coveted TC Top Pick designation — will exhibit their very latest technology at Startup Alley, and this is prime networking territory and an opportunity to meet your future founder, investor or technologist. A source of innovation and inspiration, Startup Alley is a must-see experience.

For Portuguese startup HUUB, TechCrunch’s flagship European event in Berlin was “full of pitch battles, intense networking and valuable feedback.”

“It was rather interesting to share ideas with other European Startups on how to prepare fundraising and strategies for scaling,” the HUUB team said of TechCrunch Disrupt 2017, adding, “it’s fair to say that HUUB is getting deeper and deeper into the European startup ecosystem.”

Six months after attending TechCrunch Disrupt Berlin, HUUB went on to secure  €2.5 million in funding to expand its customer base in the fashion industry and to hire new staff.

In September, StartUP Portugal brought four Portuguese companies to the San Francisco event (Undandy, MAIEL, Infinite Foundry and Startup Sintra) and even had a small booth dedicated to helping promote the Portuguese startup ecosystem.

As the world’s leading authority in debuting revolutionary startups, TechCrunch Disrupt Berlin is the premiere place for entrepreneurs, not just from Portugal but from all over the world, who are looking for funding, a new job, co-founders or investment. Disrupt offers all the amenities to help connect with the right people efficiently and effectively.
