SWC · Tashkent 2026 — Partner Award

The Limpid × VC Score Fundraising Package.
Presented by Limpid and VC Score
A special-category award at Startup World Cup Tashkent 2026. Finalists don't leave with a certificate and a photo — they leave with an honest read on why investors say yes or no, benchmarked against the companies actually raising, and a route into the network that funds them.

Limpid is a startup sourcing and pipeline platform headquartered in San Francisco. One application reaches a network of 25+ partner funds — no cold emails, no chasing warm intros, no guessing at what a partner meeting wants to hear.
Its assessment engine, VC Score, scores a company the way an investment committee does: metrics, market position, stage-appropriate traction, benchmarked against comparable companies. The output is a breakdown a founder can act on, not a verdict they have to decode.
The premise is stated plainly on Limpid's own site: fundraising driven by data, not bias. For a region where proximity to capital has historically decided who gets seen, that is the entire point.

How it's awarded
Nobody leaves empty-handed.
The grand prize is the seat at the $1M Grand Finale in San Francisco. This sits alongside it as a special-category award — structured so that reaching the final ten is already worth something.
01
A special-category award
Not the grand prize. The $1M San Francisco seat stays the headline — this runs alongside it as a dedicated partner award.
02
Earned in tiers, not drawn
What a team receives follows the judges' results. Top 10 are assessed, the top 3 are introduced, the winner is coached. Nothing is random.
03
Not a discount code
The assessment is run on the same platform 25+ partner funds source from. The report a finalist walks away with is the one investors read.
