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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
