LICENSEWARE gets Venture Panel Award 🏆 @ Rubik Hub’s Scale to UK 🇬🇧

Licenseware has achieved a cute milestone, winning the Venture Panel Award (Investor Choice) at the Rubik Hub Scale to UK Demo Day 2025 in London. The event, held at the esteemed UiPath office, marked the conclusion of a rigorous acceleration program designed to propel high-growth Romanian startups onto the international stage.

The win is a huge validation of Licenseware’s innovative approach to software license management and its significant potential for global scale.

A Program Culmination and a New Beginning

As Licenseware’s Alex noted ahead of the event, the Demo Day was more than just a closing ceremony; it was a springboard: “This wraps up the program, but the relationships and momentum continue. I’m grateful for the lessons and support we received, and I’m committed to paying it forward to future alumni.”

The Demo Day saw six exceptional founders pitch their vision and growth strategies to an audience of venture capitalists and enterprise leaders. Licenseware’s presentation clearly resonated, demonstrating how its solutions directly help customers save millions on complex software agreements.

Investor Validation: The Venture Panel Award

The ultimate recognition came from an esteemed jury of international investors, Paul Forrest, Valentin Filip, Hakan Candaner, Raph Crouan, and Cosmin Curticapean, who selected Licenseware for the Venture Panel Award. This Investor Choice Award reflects the strong confidence of experienced VCs and industry veterans in the company’s market fit, commercial readiness, and potential for substantial returns.

This achievement stands alongside other significant recognitions on the day:

• People’s Choice Award: Sales Partner
• Investment from Fortech Investments: Finergy Tech (a fintech startup entering a detailed evaluation for a prospective investment of €150,000 to €400,000).

Gratitude and Global Momentum

The Rubik Scale to UK program, supported by the North-East Regional Development Agency (Agentia pentru Dezvoltare Regionala Nord-Est) and key partners like the Department for Business and Trade, 20VC, UiPath, and Fortech Investments, was instrumental in preparing Licenseware for this moment.

Winning the Venture Panel Award in London provides Licenseware with powerful momentum as it executes its ambitious plan to scale across the UK and beyond, positioning the company as a leader in solving the growing, multi-million dollar challenge of software license waste for global enterprises.
