A little Web Summit news: The largest number of startups ever will be at Web Summit this November. We're beyond thrilled and I'm so proud of the team. Today we share the data for the first time. The number of American startups exhibiting in Lisbon will surpass 150 for the first, reaching more than 250! The number of startups exhibiting from both the UK and Germany will reach ~300 for each country, up sharply on 2023. The number of startups exhibiting from Spain and Italy will increase by more than 50% compared to 2023, to ~170 from Spain and ~100 from Italy. These rates of growth are unprecedented for Web Summit. But non-traditional markets are also up sharply too. The number of startups exhibiting from Serbia for example, will exceed 50, which is more than double the number compared to 2023. The number of startups exhibiting from Finland has also doubled in just a single year. And that’s just startups who are exhibiting. There are far more founders and startups simply attending; networking, listening, learning. We estimate there will be ~15,000 founders at Web Summit this year. A large part of this unprecedented growth is driven by a boom in bootstrapped startups. That boom is ushering in a new era in tech. Traditional, early stage VCs are increasingly being sidelined, while a new generation of bootstrapped startups are starting and scaling without them. For the first time, "seeking investment" is no longer the top priority for startups at Web Summit. It's “meeting customers”. Tech is changing. And Web Summit is changing to meet this new reality. So why is there a boom in bootstrapped startups? Perhaps it is because it has never been cheaper to build software; perhaps it is because it has never been cheaper to scale a software startup; perhaps it is because it has never been easier to find customers; perhaps it is because major tech companies fired hundreds of thousands of highly talented staff in recent years and many of those are now bootstrapping a new generation of startups. Whatever it is, you'll meet an entirely new generation of founders and startups at Web Summit, more of them bootstrapping than ever before in our history. The numbers are unprecedented. The entire Web Summit team has worked flat out for the last year to hit this incredible milestone. I'm so proud of them. The entire team of more than 300, who've worked full time throughout the year, can’t wait to welcome you and an entirely new generation of founders and startups to Lisbon. See you all in November.
