Announcing the Top 5 Winners of the Peachscore + Dealum Startup Pitch Competition

Peachscore and Dealum extend their sincere gratitude to our distinguished panel of judges, corporate partners, and ecosystem leaders whose commitment helped make this pitch competition possible. Co-hosted with Dealum and supported by HubSpot, Zendesk, and moatly™, this event was designed to provide startups with more than visibility through meaningful feedback, strategic connections, and real opportunities for growth.

Our executive panel dedicated their expertise to evaluating an exceptionally competitive field of startups, reinforcing the importance of collaboration between founders, investors, and industry leaders in accelerating innovation globally.
