Your startup success manager

Each company is assigned a dedicated startup success manager to help prepare you for the event. You would have first heard from them in your welcome email. Your startup success manager is your best point of contact, and will send weekly email updates in the weeks leading up to the event.

We can only answer the questions you ask, so be sure to pop us an email if you have any questions and your startup success manager will be happy to answer.

Email communication

For more Web Summit updates, make sure your ticket details are fully complete. All email addresses that have been assigned a ticket from your ticket package will be included in email communications from your startup success manager and will receive the Web Summit newsletter. For information on assigning your tickets, check out this page. If you’d like any additional team members to receive email communications, please inform your startup success manager.

Please note: Web Summit’s startup team is located in Dublin, Ireland, and Lisbon, Portugal. We aim to respond to any queries as efficiently as possible and within 24 hours, but please take potential time differences into account when contacting the team.

Your profile

In the initial email from your startup success manager, you will find your startup profile URL. Your profile URL is unique to your company, and can be shared with as many of your colleagues as you like. There are no logins or passwords.

Why is this important?

  • There are lots of reasons why the information you provide here is important:

  • The information you submit on your profile will be visible to all of our attendees before and during the event.

  • It will also be used to populate our featured startups page and your Web Summit app profile.

  • Filling out your startup's information can result in a higher chance of being selected for some startup activations.

  • In short, it is how people will learn more about you, and will often be the first piece of information people read about you.


Please note: Please ensure all information is correct before pressing ‘confirm for printing’ on your startup profile. It is your responsibility to provide accurate information and meet the deadlines provided.
