How founders get in
The organiser describes Money20/20 Europe as compressing months of startup networking, deal-making and discovery into a few days. Startup delegates can connect with banks, investors, regulators and payment companies and attend targeted sessions on funding, scaling, partnerships and regulation. The optional Startup Hub adds a branded pod, investor meetings and a pitch opportunity for qualifying growth-stage exhibitors.
- For Money20/20 Europe 2027 (2027-06-08 to 2027-06-10, RAI Amsterdam), choose the startup-delegate route if you want to attend without a pod, or the Startup Hub exhibitor route if you want a branded pod and pitch opportunity.
- For a Startup Pass, choose Early Stage or Growth Stage in the 2027 Pass Picker, submit the application and company details, and, if approved, return to complete the purchase. Applications are usually reviewed within 3 working days (2027).
- After registering, set up a Money20/20 account using the email attached to your pass and use Money20/20 Connect for AI matchmaking and meeting requests. The app is due to be available about 4 weeks before the show (2027); collect your badge onsite.
| Startup programme | For 2027, apply for an Early Stage or Growth Stage Startup Pass through the Pass Picker; after approval, complete the purchase. The separate Startup Hub exhibitor route is an enquiry for a pod; the published Growth Stage pod includes entry to the Startup Pitch Competition. source |
|---|---|
| Startup price | 2027 launch rates: €975 + 21% sales tax for Early Stage (regular €1,249); €1,299 + 21% sales tax for Growth Stage (regular €1,599). source |
| Eligibility | 2027 Early Stage: operation for fewer than 3 years, incorporation after 2024-06-01, and less than €5M raised. 2027 Growth Stage: operation for fewer than 7 years, incorporation after 2020-06-01, and less than €30M raised. Both exclude advisors, consultants, law firms, advisory board members, VCs and accelerators. The separately published Startup Hub Growth Stage pod criteria are for the 2026 edition: operation for fewer than 5 years, incorporation after 2021-06-01, and less than €15M raised. |
| Founder discounts | 2027 launch pricing is discounted from the stated regular startup-pass rates: Early Stage €975 vs €1,249 and Growth Stage €1,299 vs €1,599, plus 21% sales tax. For Standard Passes, the organiser lists additional group savings of €100 per pass for 5–9, €200 for 10–19, €300 for 20–29 and €400 for 30+ passes. The group offer is stated for additional Standard Passes, not as a separate startup-pass discount. |
| Investor pass | Apply for the Investor Pass through the Pass Picker. The organiser usually reviews applications within 3 working days (2027); once approved, return to the account to complete the purchase. source |
| Investor eligibility | For 2027, applicants must be active investors at a VC, private-equity fund, CVC, LP, fund manager (GP) or accelerator; have made at least 1 investment in the past 2 years; and have a verifiable investment portfolio. The organiser reviews qualifications. |
