The Webit Ecosystem is a massive, multi-faceted global platform that connects startups, tech innovators, investors, corporate leaders, and policymakers to foster entrepreneurship and technological convergence. Founded in 2008 by Dr. Plamen Russev, it grew from a single pioneering tech event in Bulgaria into a global community encompassing massive event series, investment funds, and startup competitions across multiple continents. Core Components of the Ecosystem
Webit Global Events: High-impact business, policy, and technology summits held in cities like Sofia, Davos, Singapore, and Dubai. They feature parallel stages covering AI, fintech, defense, health innovation, and biotech, drawing hundreds of thousands of in-person and virtual attendees.
The Founders Games: One of the world’s largest startup challenges. It awards millions of dollars in prize pools and grants, vetting thousands of early-stage and post-seed companies through a jury of over 250 top VCs.
Webit Investment Network (WIN): A public investment company listed on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE: WIN). It allows retail and institutional investors to fund high-growth scale-ups that directly target at least one UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG).
Webit Capital Partners: A venture fund that leverages the due diligence of the Founders Games to invest directly in the competition’s top-tier finalists, ensuring highly de-risked deal flow. Key Ecosystem Statistics
