10 startups, 3 minutes each, a ticket to San Francisco: Unicorn Pitches lands in Limassol on 24 November

Built something at a hackathon this year? Here's the next rung. Unicorn Pitches brings its pitch-battle format to Limassol on Tuesday, 24 November 2026, 15:00–23:00, at the CUT Tassos Papadopoulos Building.

How it works. Ten hand-picked startups get 3 minutes each on stage. A panel of 7–10 venture capitalists scores them by electronic vote, on the spot. The winner earns a place at the Unicorn event in San Francisco.

Before the pitches (15:15–18:00): two hands-on AI workshops for founders — AI as Your Co-Founder and a session on strategic frameworks for AI-native businesses — followed by 30 minutes of investor–startup speed dating and a panel.

The room. Organisers expect 300+ attendees, 100+ investors and 20+ family offices.

Two ways in:

• Pitch: startups apply via the Unicorn.Events page.
• Attend: tickets are on Eventbrite, refundable up to 7 days before the event.

Worth knowing: this is a pitch competition, not a build weekend — no code gets written on the day. Bring a working product and a reason to talk to capital.
