​Register now for the WIT Start-up Pitch 2015

Since 2007, WIT has embraced startups with the WIT Start-up Pitch and since 2007 they’ve held the WIT Bootcamp, which aims to foster and mentor newcomers to the industry. Entrepreneurs and investors come together at the Bootcamp to meet at the intersection of travel and technology. Contestants in the Start-up Pitch compete to win a place to pitch the conference participants at the main conference. Past winners of the Start-up Pitch include Trippiece, BeMyGuest, Relux and Voyagin who’ve gone on to carve niches within the travel industry.

“Relux is growing quite fast and I believe that started since we won the start-up pitch at WIT 2013. It was one of the biggest breaking points of our company,” Takaya Shinozuka, co-founder of Relux.

Somsak (Pai) Boonkam, CEO & founder of Local Alike, says, “Pitching at WIT is a big chance to get relevant feedbacks from experts and judges who understand the industry really well and of course it helps improving Local Alike model for the better.

Winnie Tan, CEO & founder, Tripzilla, “WIT Conference is the best stage for Travel Start-ups who want to get their word out. Take it from me because TripZilla was hatched at WIT Conference 2010! This event offers us the unparalleled opportunity to learn from and interact with the brightest travel leaders. It is a fantastic networking channel and we have been able to use it to start conversations with companies we want to work with. “

“But like how a company’s culture is of utmost importance to a startup, WIT’s culture is the secret sauce that makes it so special – the candid sharing of ideas, the willingness of the veterans to mentor and the implicit understanding to come with an open mind.”
