Startup World Cup regional at RV Institute

Startup World Cup’s Bangalore regional is scheduled for Saturday, August 8, 2026 at RV Institute of Technology and Management in Bengaluru, according to the competition’s official event page and ticketing listings. The Startup World Cup site lists a “Bangalore Regional 2026” finale on August 8, while AllEvents and Eventbrite list a free in-person event beginning at 10:00 a.m. India time at the JP Nagar campus. The event is one of the regional competitions tied to Startup World Cup, the global pitch competition run by Pegasus Tech Ventures. The Bangalore page says founders can apply to the regional competition and lists August 8 as the date for the regional finale. ### Which Bengaluru campus is hosting the event? RV Institute of Technology and Management is the venue named across the public listings for August 8. (startupworldcup.io) AllEvents gives the location as RV Institute of Technology and Management, Chaithanya Layout, 8th Phase, J.P. Nagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560076, while Eventbrite lists the same campus in Bengaluru, Karnataka. The venue detail matters because the preliminary card referred to “RV Institute of Technology and Science,” but the public event pages that could be verified name RV Institute of Technology and Management instead. The official Startup World Cup Bangalore page identifies the regional as “JP Nagar, Bengaluru” without naming a different RV campus. ### What does the official Startup World Cup page say about the regional? (allevents.in) The Startup World Cup website lists “Bangalore Regional 2026” and says applications are open for the regional competition. The page also lists August 8 as the “regional finale” date and names three judges: Sayanee Bhowmik, identified there as founder of VC Lens and startup mentor at Founder Institute; Shravan Murthy, identified as director at South India Angels Network; and Sridhar Sampathirao, identified as an angel investor and founding partner of Thoucentric. (startupworldcup.io) The same page says the Bangalore regional is organized in partnership with local participants, though the visible crawl excerpt does not show a detailed agenda. It does show links to apply, register to attend, and inquire about partnerships, speakers and volunteers. ### Who is organizing the public event listing? CEDAT is named as the organizer on the event listings that are open to attendees. (startupworldcup.io) AllEvents says “Startup World Cup - 2026” is organized by CEDAT COMMUNITY, and Eventbrite says “CEDAT presents Startup World Cup - 2026.” AllEvents and Eventbrite differ slightly on duration. One AllEvents listing says the event runs from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., while another AllEvents page and a mirrored event page list it from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (startupworldcup.io) Eventbrite describes it as a four-hour in-person event. ### What can founders and attendees expect on August 8? The verified listings describe the event as an in-person Startup World Cup regional in Bengaluru, but they do not provide a full published program in the snippets available. (allevents.in) The preliminary card referred to investor networking and pitch sessions, and those elements are consistent with the format of Startup World Cup regional competitions, though the public pages reviewed here chiefly confirm the date, venue, registration links and competition branding. The official Bangalore page’s references to applications, a top-10 announcement and a regional finale indicate that startups are expected to pitch through a competitive format rather than attend only as a networking meetup. The page excerpt shows a “Top 10 announcement” and the August 8 finale date, but not the exact timing of those steps. ### Where can people register or track the next step? (startupworldcup.io) AllEvents and Eventbrite both carry registration pages for the August 8 Bengaluru event, and AllEvents lists the ticket price as free. The Startup World Cup Bangalore page separately offers an application link for founders seeking to enter the regional competition. August 8, 2026 is the next dated milestone visible on the verified pages, with the Bangalore regional finale scheduled that day in JP Nagar, Bengaluru. (startupworldcup.io) The official page also lists the judges for that stage, giving founders and attendees named participants to watch as the regional competition proceeds.
