The Groceryshop Startup Pitch competition will return to Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on September 29, 2025, showcasing early-stage technology startups developing solutions for the grocery retail and CPG industries. The event will feature companies presenting innovations aimed at addressing challenges, such as enhancing the shopper experience and improving operational efficiency.
Over the course of three competitive rounds, 12 founders and CEOs will present their solutions to a panel of industry experts and a live Groceryshop audience. Scores from both judges and attendees will determine which six companies advance to the final stage.
In the final round, the top contenders will present again, responding to direct questions from the judges before the Judges’ Choice Award is announced.
