Pitch your product. Win $1M+
by•
Update: The Deel Leaderboard will no longer be going ahead today for the Paris event.
We’re teaming up with The Pitch by @Deel, a global startup competition where up to 100 winners will receive $50k in funding and up to 10 winners will receive $1M+.
If you make the cut, you’ll also show up on special Product Hunt leaderboards, starting with the first event on April 13.
So this is not just another application form floating around the internet. There is real money on the table, and if you get in, people will actually see you.

This is interesting 👀
We just launched LocalSpy AI today — helps local businesses understand why competitors are actually winning customers (beyond just reviews and pricing).
Definitely applying for this. Curious what kind of products have won in the past?
Sounds like a good opportunity. But I wonder if this supports organic growth or if it's tailored more to "bigger" players who may have more bandwidth to participate in competitions and what other terms are attached to winning this money.
@samir_tout Hi Samir, we are industry and stage-agnostic. We'd love to hear your pitch! Our terms are viewable here: https://www.deel.com/the-pitch-by-deel/terms/
@vanya_kostova From what I've seen in similar competitions, solo founders with live products tend to stand out more than teams with ideas — traction (even small) beats structure almost every time at early stage.
I'm in a similar position: solo dev, three live products (Autoreport, Valix, and a comparison site), zero paying customers yet. Applying anyway. The worst outcome is visibility from the thread itself.
@aaronoleary @Deel Can we still apply if we've just launched Akievo today?
@aaronoleary @martyn_johnson Yes, you can!
This is huge - love the mix of real funding and actual visibility.
Curious what kind of products you’re prioritizing for this round?
@julia_lemon Hi Julia, we are industry-agnostic. We'd love to hear your pitch!
This is a really great idea. I'm wondering what stage the product development has to be in for someone to stand a real chance. For example, showcasing a prototype and having a really compelling and strong pitch OR a fully thought out and built product that's ready to go and just waiting for funding in order to take off.
Can a solo developer participate too? I'm building my first AI SaaS, ReplyGain, and I would need funding as I'm self-funded.
@jiteshghanchi Yes, you can!
Did anyone succesfully apply? that link takes me to a groupon page
