Cashwalk is a half-day experience designed for depth, not noise. Every phase is exclusive and highly curated, reserved for a limited group of selected startups, investors, and corporate innovators.
The day begins with a high-level discussion led by respected voices from deep tech and venture capital — framing the challenges and opportunities in this edition’s focus areas.
Only the selected startups take the stage. Each introduces itself with one slide and one minute, a concise signal designed to spark curiosity before the deeper exchanges begin.
At the heart of Cashwalk. In each fishbowl, 4–5 handpicked startups from a vertical sit in the inner circle, surrounded by investors and corporates in the outer circle. Over 60 minutes, a moderated dialogue unfolds — intimate, interactive, and selective by design. Every seat is reserved for those who bring relevance and value to the conversation.
The dialogue continues beyond the circles. Only invited participants move into targeted 1:1 sessions and informal exchanges, with every introduction tracked and supported to ensure meaningful follow-up after the event.
Cashwalk is more than a format — it’s a platform with a track record of creating results and trusted by leading ecosystem players.
