Pitching the Future

We walked into Conecta Digital—the biggest entertainment and tech event in Europe — with a dream, a deck, and an idea so bold it barely fit on stage.

We walked out with every single award of the startup competition.

Yes. You read that right.

There were three prizes.
And we won all three:

🔥 Most Valuable Startup
🚀 Most Innovative Startup
🌍 Most Impactful Startup

No product. No traction. Just the vision.
STIK Reality.

We stood in front of a room full media execs, tech leaders, creators, and entertainment giants…
and dropped the future.

We showed them what happens when physical objects become social platforms.
When the real world stops being passive and starts being interactive.
When your vinyls, your food, your books become the new feed.

We weren’t “the next social app.”
We were the next internet layer.
And they felt it.

And there was Cris — our co-founder — on stage collecting them.
His face? A mix of disbelief, pride, and “what the hell just happened.”

We weren’t even sure we’d get into the competition.
Now we’re walking out as the startup that just rewired the conversation.

This was the moment we stopped being just an idea.
And became a signal.

Something sparked at Conecta.
Now we light the fuse.

Welcome to the revolution.
Welcome to STIK Reality.

P.S.
At Conecta, we also met Edgar, founder and CEO of Emogg — and he absolutely blew our minds. What he’s building is incredible. Vision, energy, purpose.
Big respect.
