How Pie Became a Pitch Battle Champion
It’s official, Pie is cooking something special! Last week, we went from winning the UK Start-Up Grind Pitch Battle to smashing it in the Europe, LATAM & Africa final, ultimately finishing as one of the Top 5 start-ups in the world in the global competition.
Start-Up Grind is the Olympics of the start-up world, and we couldn’t be prouder of how far we’ve come in just one year. These competitions aren’t just about pitching; they’re about vision, innovation, and resilience. Winning the hearts of the audience and the respect of the judges at every level proves that Pie isn’t just an app, it’s a movement to empower people to take control of their finances.
Pie Wins the UK Pitch Battle
The journey started just last week with a bang. Pie went up against some of the UK’s best start-ups, and we’re not going to lie, it was tough competition. But thanks to our innovative approach to personal tax, our pitch hit home.
The audience vote and judges’ vote both swung our way, securing us the UK crown and the chance to represent our country on a bigger stage.
Smashing the Europe, LATAM & Africa semi final
From the UK to a much bigger challenge, Pie showed up and delivered. Competing in the regional finals meant facing off with the best start-ups from three continents, but we didn’t just hold our own, we won.
By this stage, it wasn’t just about showing innovation but proving we could scale and make a global impact.

The Global Finals
The global finals last week were an incredible challenge, pitting Pie against the very best start-ups from around the world. There were some amazing start-ups including one that was helping to detect breast cancer early.
Pie finished 5th in the final which was a huge achievement. Competing at this level proved that Pie has what it takes to make a global impact, and we are more motivated than ever to push boundaries and continue growing.
Pie’s performance at Start-Up Grind didn’t just validate our mission; it amplified it. It showed that empowering people to manage their taxes with confidence is a global need, and Pie is here to meet it.
What’s Next for Pie?
Pie’s success on the Start-Up Grind stage is just the beginning. With the recognition we’ve earned, we’re more determined than ever to expand, innovate, and make personal tax management stress-free for people everywhere. This journey has proven that the future of finance is personal, digital, and accessible to everyone.
Stay tuned, because this is only the start of what’s possible with Pie.
