Last week we hosted the semi-finals of our Silicon Gorge pitching competition, where 24 early-stage startups pitched to a panel of industry experts for a coveted place at our Investor Showcase on 5 June.
The first twelve startups took to the (virtual) stage during our online event on Wednesday, while the second twelve pitched live at the South West Founders x Silicon Gorge Mash-Up last Thursday.
The calibre of pitches was sky-high, giving our judges the tough job of whittling it down to just 12 finalists. Now, we can’t wait to see these standout startups take the spotlight one last time at the showcase!
Before they take the stage, it’s time to meet the finalists of Silicon Gorge 2025:
