About us
SASK is a platform for the Slovak startup ecosystem. We connect founders, investors, partners, alumni and young talent, and create a space where new companies grow faster at home and abroad.
Who we are
We started as Startup Awards Slovakia. Today we’re much more than one finals event – we’re a year-round platform built by people from the startup and tech world. Throughout the year, it connects the community through meetups, the bootcamp, alumni and partnerships that bring founders contacts, feedback and the next step towards growth.
