What is the Leaderboard?

The SeedBlink Leaderboard is a startup rating and discovery platform built for How to Web participants.

At the conference, you’ll be able to:

⭐ Discover startups showcasing their vision and traction.

🗳️ Rate them on potential and readiness (1–5 stars).

🤖 See AI-enhanced insights on their pitch decks and profiles.

📈 Track rankings live as ratings come in during the event.

It’s simple: the more founders engage, the more visibility they gain and the community gets a real-time snapshot of the most promising startups.

Why We’re Doing This

SeedBlink’s mission has always been to level the fundraising field.

For founders: it means preparing smarter, raising faster, and gaining exposure to investors who can actually help.

For investors: it means having the tools, data, and transparency to discover startups worth backing.

The Leaderboard is how we bring this mission to life at How to Web. It’s a playful way to connect offline at the conference, while showing how our platform already acts as a CRM for investor management and a digital infrastructure for fundraising.

Prizes for Founders

🏆 Top 3 founders each receive 1h of dedicated mentoring with leading experts:

Business Strategy, Go-to-Market, Branding & Positioning with Alex Cernătescu, CEO & Co-Founder @Stefanini Infinit & Investor
Sales, Funnels & Scaling for Growth with Cristi Movilă, Founder & CEO @OptiComm.AI

And the top 5 founders will also receive free access to the EXEDA YEAR 1 program - www.exedaonline.com - until May 2026, including courses and access to its network. EXEDA is modern entrepreneurial and executive education designed to help you redefine your potential.
