Step SF 2025 Pitch Competition | Hosted by SVB

​Step is the global tech conference for founders, investors, and innovators - connecting thriving startup scenes across North America, the Middle East, and Europe. After hosting 50,000+ attendees and thousands of startups over the past decade, we’re back in Silicon Valley for the second edition of Step SF.

​​Join us for the official kickoff of Step San Francisco 2025 with an evening of high-energy pitches from 15 pre-selected startups!

​Taking place the night before the main conference, Silicon Valley Bank is hosting this invite-only, high-energy event that brings together founders, investors, and tech leaders for a fast-paced competition where early-stage startups present their ideas in front of a live jury and audience.

​Each startup will have just 3 minutes to pitch, followed by 2 minutes of Q&A with our expert panel of judges.

​Expect bold ideas, fresh innovation, and the next wave of tech talent.

​Free entry for Step SF badge holders. 

​See you there!
