When investors, government grants and bank funding come to Tier-2 — not the other way around.

Why We Built the Room

There are founders in Tier 2 cities as good as anyone in Chennai or Bangalore — working just as hard, with an idea just as good. What they don’t have is easy access to a room full of investors, the thing a metro founder barely thinks about. The talent was never the problem. The access was. We’re closing that gap over a single weekend.

What Happens

• Founder Bootcamp: Ten Tier-2 startups coached on the pitch, cap table, data room and the questions investors actually ask.
• Diligence & Selection: A panel sits with each startup and picks the three that are ready to take the stage.
• The Live Finale: Three startups pitch to a room that can say yes. The other seven are recognised on stage too.
• Growth Zones, All Day: Grants, investors, banking and the deal corner — open all day. Walk up anytime.
• Startup Exhibit: The ten startups up close — see what they’ve actually built, not just a slide.
• Every Door Open: Investors, scheme officers, bank heads and mentors — under one roof in Erode, no borrowed contact needed.

The goal of the Global Startup Summit 2026 | Chennai is to bring the startup community together.

It serves as a platform to support the Indian startup ecosystem and a project to close the funding gap for entrepreneurs & provide high-quality industry insights and future ideas.

An open door for explorers, a common ground for builders

A gathering for Ethereum and the global movement building free, open, private, and verifiable systems.

What is Devcon?

Where the people behind decentralized systems come together to learn, build, and connect.

Devcon is an annual global event organized by the Ethereum Foundation; a space to dive into open-source technology, meet the communities behind it, and explore the ideas defining the future of open technology.

Why Devcon India?

India is where Ethereum is being built for the world

India has one of the world's most extraordinary concentrations of engineering talent, and one of its fastest-growing open-source communities.

The work happening here is not peripheral to Ethereum's development. Infrastructure, ZK identity systems, and coordination layers built in India power Ethereum globally.

Devcon is for builders of all kind

At its core, Devcon is grounded in a set of properties: censorship resistance, open source, privacy, and security. Everything is designed to support technology that remains open, verifiable, and resilient.

Whether you're an open-source contributor who champions collective ownership, an advocate fighting for digital privacy and peer-to-peer freedom, a researcher exploring fairer economic models, or someone who builds tools because they should belong to everyone, there is a place for you at Devcon.

What to expect

Devcon is where the builders of a brighter future gather and co-create.

• Programming: Four days of technical depth and human connection.
• Community Hubs: Thematic spaces built by the ecosystem, for the ecosystem.
• Coworking Spaces: Integrated spaces designed for focus and coordination.
• Hands-on Experiences: Devcon is an experience you shape, not just an event you attend.

Global Startup Summit is an initiative to connect the startup community for collective networking and progress. It is a platform to encourage the Indian startup ecosystem and an initiative to bridge the gap between startups and investors.
