Discover Perfect Pitch

The sixth edition of the Discover Perfect Pitch competition will be hosted at Sibos 2025 in Frankfurt. This challenge with a twist gives fintechs from around the globe the opportunity to showcase their products and services to the Sibos community. The winners will be crowned on stage in a live final at Sibos on Wednesday 1 October.

The streams

This year fintechs will compete across three streams:

• Ambitious Adventurer - Being an adventurer is about your attitude, ambition, and values. This category will highlight those who excel in culture, people and teams. You’ll be able to demonstrate concrete success of brilliance and that you’re going somewhere not yet mapped out, because these are hallmarks of adventurers. The exact stage, funding and implementation of your ideas, products and services is not the priority. Net zero to maximisation of profits, this is about the heights you want to reach.
• Community Pioneer - Together we are stronger, the best Community Pioneers might have a revolutionary payments infrastructure, be totally focused on sustainability or deeply-integrated collaboration. What’s clear is that others need and want to be with you as you forge change for a community. It’s not about being different, it is about doing it together.
• Established Trendsetter - You may have proved the doubters wrong and built something that will scale. It’s not been easy, but you’ve solved a financial inclusion dilemma or created a new and improved solution to a known problem. Everyone now sees what you saw as obvious five years ago, but they didn’t take the risk. You did.

Qualifying entrants select the competition category best aligned to their business, values and principles, answer a series of questions and submit a pitch video.
