LISBON, Portugal, May 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
The startup ecosystem in Portugal, with innovation at its core, is
growing by leaps and bounds. While various international startups
are fast expanding their reach in the country, the ecosystem is
also strengthened by unique startup-support programs such as the
Startup League by Radix, a domain name registry.

The Startup League was started 8 months ago with a goal to boost
market visibility of young and upcoming businesses from around the
world. Today, the League has over 65 startups across 26 countries
and 5 continents that have been benefitted in multiple ways and
gained visibility from investors, customers, mentors, media,
influencers and peers. Through the Startup League, startups can
gain access to sponsorship for exhibition booths at various startup
and tech fests anywhere in the world. This essentially means that
if you are a startup on board the Startup League, you can get
sponsorship to exhibit at any reputed startup fest such as Web
Summit, Lisbon Investment Summit, TechCrunch Disrupt, SLUSH, etc.
Not only that, you also get branded booth goodies, startup-media
coverage, social media shout outs and access to high-quality
website domain names.
What makes the Startup League a great program for startups is
that by sharing or sponsoring booth cost, the League is empowering
startups to showcase themselves to a relevant audience of
investors, mentors, journalists, social influencers and peers who
are likely to be at the best startup events. For small businesses
that are focused on optimizing marketing cost, this is a fantastic
way to grab eyeballs at a much lesser cost.
Last year, the Startup League sponsored 15 innovative startups
from around the world at Web Summit, Lisbon, including 3 Portuguese startups,
namely http://www.nu-rise.tech
,http://www.youclap.tech , and
http://www.booknow.tech . It also gave them a great avenue
to engage with other young, aspiring Portuguese startups that are
now part of Startup League, they are sensei.tech, and
http://www.betacode.tech .
Foraying further into the European startup ecosystem, the
Startup League sponsored 15 early/growth stage startups with 100%
of their booth costs at TNW Conference Amsterdam, as a part of the
unique Tickets to Boost program - being run exclusively for
startups on Radix's domain extensions. The conference took place on
the 18th and 19th of May.
This year, with the Web Summit returning to Lisbon, and other great opportunities also
opening-up for the Portuguese startup community, the Startup League
aims to create a much greater impact in a bigger and more exciting
format. Starting 22nd May, the Startup League team will be moving
across Portugal on a road trip,
visiting key startup hubs of the country, meeting entrepreneurs and
startup community managers. This is a great news for Portugal startups who wish to expand their
reach within and outside the country.
Through the Startup League, Portugal startups can reach a wide audience of
quality investors, customers, mentors, journalists, influencers and
peers. Startups planning to exhibit at Web Summit, Lisbon this year in November can get up to
100% sponsorship for their booth at the fest along with a host of
other marketing and PR benefits.
