What makes this different?
❌ No business bla bla, no LinkedIn speak, no corporate jargon, no “yeah, sounds good” followed by radio silence
✅ Direct, effective conversations that actually matter to YOU, valuable connections that will get your business and career to the next level, plus good vibes and genuine fun
🎤 Startup pitchers:
What sets NXTUP events apart? All of the startups here have a working product and paying customers - real traction, not vibe-coders with “a good idea” and a PDF.
Salva Jovells: Founder @ Clino
Europe’s aging fast. By 2050, nearly 30% will be 65+, and more people than ever are caring for elderly relatives at home. But hiring household help legally? It’s a paperwork nightmare. Salva built Clino to handle the mess: payroll, contracts, and social insurance, all sorted. So you can focus on what matters.Janina Glavaš & Lucas Glavaš: Founders @ beyond-bot.ai
Can’t find the expert you need, or can’t afford one? Janina and Lucas built B-Bot to solve the expert shortage with AI-powered virtual experts on demand, so you get the expertise without the hiring headache.
🎤 Investor insights:

🚀 Want to pitch your startup?
WE HAVE 1 STARTUP PITCHER SPOT OPEN. Send your pitch deck (or a short description) to ervin.sivic@gmail.com. No need for a polished final version, just enough for us to understand the problem you’re solving, your industry, and what phase you’re in. Selected pitchers get free tickets. To qualify, you need an MVP, working prototype, or tangible traction. If you’re still at the idea stage or vibe-coding, this isn’t the right fit yet.
🌍 Language: Presentations in English, but connect with people however you want.
Come for the quality startups, stay for the connections that actually lead somewhere.
