SiGMA, the igaming exhibition and conference that takes place in Malta later this month, will once again host the Startup Pitch following last year’s successful debut.

At SiGMA a hundred start-ups will get a free booth, invitations to networking events and event-related PR. However just 10 will be shortlisted to make it to the Startup Pitch final.

The finalists will then each present a three-minute pitch to a panel of seven potential investors.

The panel comprises: property mogul Morten Klein; Optimizer Invest CEO Carla Maree Vella; Julie Meyer, founder and CEO of investment and advisory firm Ariadne Capital; Gaming Realms founder Simon Collins; Ory Weihs, who heads affiliate giant XLMedia; Robin Reed, founder of Gaming Innovation Group; and Roger Walker, a partner with Partis Solutions.

On Friday, November 24, the 10 start-ups will try to capture the attention of the leading industry figures, hoping to secure funding, mentoring and contacts.
