2026 01.22 | Enterprise DevTool Games

The Enterprise Buyer Games is a live competition where five devtool startups pitch directly to senior engineering leaders who evaluate them through the lens of real enterprise adoption.

​The event gives founders and attendees a front-row seat to how enterprises make buying decisions.

​As part of the event, we will be hosting a fireside chat discussing how organizations handle budget allocations, what the evaluation process looks like, and how founders can streamline it. They’ll break down what actually drives green lights when companies are deciding what to adopt.

​Judges score each startup based on two factors: how likely they’d be to adopt the tool inside their org and how important the underlying problem is to solve. The audience (you) will vote after each pitch, and we will reveal winners at the end!
