Startup Games is postponed until 2026

Thank you so much to those who jumped in early to be part of Startup Games — we’re truly grateful for your excitement and support. After reviewing registrations and sponsor commitments, we’ve made the tough but intentional decision to postpone Startup Games until 2026. This wasn’t an easy call, but it’s the right one. Our goal has always been to deliver an exceptional experience — one packed with energy, collaboration, and opportunity. Taking extra time now means we can create the high-caliber, fully-sponsored event our entrepreneurs and community deserve.

Here’s what happens next: If you purchased a ticket, you’ll receive a full refund within the next few days. You’ll also be added to our early access list so you can grab your spot before we reopen registration.

We’re using this extra runway to line up more mentors, more sponsors, and even more ways for founders and innovators like you to win big!

Thank you again for believing in what we’re building here. This delay isn’t a setback — it’s fuel for something even better. We can’t wait to see you at the 2026 Startup Games — it’s going to be worth the wait.

If you have any questions please reach out to us at hello@startupredding.com
