Judge The Pitch 2026: Help find the UK’s next startup champion
The UK and Ireland’s largest pitching competition, The Pitch, is making a comeback for 2026 and is on the lookout for judges to score startups at its regional events.
Powered by legaltech platform SeedLegals, The Pitch 2026 is set to be bigger than ever, with:
- 60 founders across a range of sectors
- Six cities across the UK and Ireland
- 12 finalists competing at The Pitch Final in London
- One champion, taking home the 2026 trophy and a prize package filled with founder perks
The Pitch has long been a launchpad for ambitious startups, giving founders the chance to boost their brand and show investors why they’re worth backing.
Making it to the regional finals is a huge achievement in itself, but winning The Pitch can turn a startup into scaleup – and as a judge, you could be part of that success story.
