Connecting Emerging SAF Start-ups with Capital



Do you have a new product or service in the sustainable aviation fuel realm and are looking to further your business with funding? Consider applying for and submitting a pitch deck for Pitch Day at the North American SAF Conference & Expo. In addition, as a presenter at Pitch Day at the North American SAF Conference & Expo, you have the chance to be selected to present at the Startup World Cup Grand Finale in San Francisco, California, where you can gain increased exposure and even more startup money for your company.

On Wednesday, September 24th, the North American SAF Conference & Expo will be hosting two 90-minute pitch sessions for startups in the sustainable aviation fuel industry. All pitches will be open-door. Each finalist will receive 10 minutes to pitch, followed by a 10 minute Q&A session with a panel of judges and other investors in attendance. While only one startup will be selected to compete in the Startup World Cup Grand Finale, all presenting companies will have opportunities for investment from the group of investors in attendance.
