pitch competition

Ruby Runway

Bring your Ruby-powered startup to the main stage.

Ruby Runway is a showcase for early-stage startups building with Ruby. What began as a pitch competition has evolved into something we think fits our community even better: a lightning round showcase where founders take the stage, share their work, and connect with the brilliant, curious people who make up the Ruby ecosystem.

What to Expect

Selected startups will each have a short window on stage to present their product, share their story, and introduce themselves to the RubyConf audience. This is not a competition with winners and losers — it's a spotlight for founders who are doing interesting things with Ruby and deserve to be seen.

After the showcase, participants will have dedicated networking opportunities to connect with attendees, community leaders, and potential collaborators.
