WHAT IS BEING AN AMBASSADOR ABOUT?

You represent the Global Startup Awards (GSAwards) as an individual in your country and/or in a special industry (just like Fintech, Biotech, VCs, etc.), overlapping countries or even regions because of your immeasurable influence and experience within that specific part of the startup ecosystem. Ambassadors are the main drives for recommending the best of their startup ecosystems, thus, they have a tremendous influence on the future of the nominees. (If you are willing to join as an organization, please consider joining as an Ecosystem Partner)
