Sponsorship Campaign · Web Summit 2026 · Lisbon
We're raising sponsorship to send Summit Cognitive to Web Summit 2026 — for our founder's speaking slots and to open Summit's European subsidiary office in the EU. Sealing the speaking spot moves us deeper into the incubator and closer to real European deal flow.
⏳ The $8,000 gate by June 28 secures the speaking slot at the held price. Miss June 30 and the bar rises by $2,000.
Draft for review — confirm tier amounts, the collecting account, and reward inventory before sending to prospects.
Why this matters
A speaking slot at Web Summit is not a line item — it's a door. It puts Summit's work on cognitive security and accountable autonomy in front of European partners, accelerates our place in the incubator, and anchors the launch of our EU subsidiary. This campaign covers travel, the slot, and the on-the-ground cost of standing up the office.
