This year marks the 5-year anniversary of the HSiF Pitch Event, and we’re celebrating it with a special edition you simply can’t afford to miss. We’re pleased to collaborate with The Social Hub The Hague on this occasion. On 10 December, we’re turning The Social Hub into a stage where ambitious ideas, bold founders and real opportunities collide. Whether you’re ready to pitch or just curious about the next big thing, this is where tomorrow’s companies are born.
Got a business idea that’s too good to stay on the back of a napkin? Then this is your moment. Selected founders will pitch their concept live on stage to a panel of investors, seasoned entrepreneurs and industry leaders, all competing for three major prizes. The Grow Prize of €1,000 (jury selected), the Seed Prize of €500 (jury selected) and the First Fans Prize of €250 (audience selected).
But the real prize goes beyond the cash. All winners will be invited to join an exclusive post-event coaching programme, where they’ll work closely with experienced mentors to refine their concept, scale their business and prepare for the road ahead.
Applications are open until 14 November 2025.
This isn’t your typical sit-back-and-watch event. Your ticket is free, but your opinion is priceless. As part of the audience, you’ll have the power to decide which startup deserves the First Fans Prize of €250. You’ll meet future founders, network with investors and industry experts, and get a front-row seat to the entrepreneurial energy that’s shaping the future.
Pitch your idea: Applications for founders are now open.

With thanks to our partners and sponsors Portsight Tax, Starters Station and the THUAS Centre for Entrepreneurs for making this event possible and supporting the next generation of founders.
Wouldn’t it be a shame to say “I could’ve been there” when everyone else is talking about it the next day? Don’t just watch innovation happen, be part of it.
