With its Funding the Movement program, Autonomy encourages startups
to pitch in front of investors and big companies

Funding the Movement is Autonomy’s startup program in which mobility innovators from all over the world gather to pitch in front of international investors. This event is an opportunity for the selected startups to meet and connect with the actors who will be essential to their development and help facilitate their growth.
 

Our 2018 partners

For its 2018 edition, our Call for Startups received more than 120 applications, coming from 25 different countries. Our partners were able to select 20 of the most innovative startups in urban mobility, to invite them to pitch at Funding the Movement. By attending, their goals were to meet investors, VCs – and more globally all players in the innovation ecosystem working on mobility – and find sustainable financing and partnerships to accelerate their growth and their business.

In order for them to reach their goals, startups need investors, and this is what we want to do at Autonomy with our Funding the Movement program: get funders and founders under the same roof to do business.  At Autonomy, we are proud to be part of the movement by connecting investors with ambitious and innovative mobility-themed companies.
