Maria 01 NOW 2026 – maria.io
Welcome to the biggest pitching event of the year. We’re bringing you 3 days of curated program around knowledge sharing, building meaningful connections, and, of course, 100 pitching startups from all over the world across 10 different industry tracks.

The problem we pitched

Everyone loves writing code. Nobody talks about what comes after.

Code is only a part of your app and customer's experience. Everything else - infrastructure, deployments, scaling, security, monitoring, databases - is still manual and requires deep expertise. For most founders and small teams, that 60% is the unnecessary friction when building a new product.

DollarDeploy exists to remove that friction.

With AI the solve infrastructure, deployments, scaling, security, monitoring, and databases.

Why this win matters

We started DollarDeploy with one belief: deploying an app shouldn't require a DevOps degree. You should be able to get your product online without losing days to building the right infrastructure.

The best part wasn't the trophy. It was what happened after the pitch - founder after founder came up to say "this is exactly my problem." That's the validation that counts. The pain is real, and teams are actively looking for a simpler way to ship.

This is just the beginning

Thank you to the judges, the audience, and the Finnish tech community at Maria 01. This milestone fuels what comes next: making deployment faster, simpler, and accessible to every builder.

Vibe coding solved the 40%. We're building the other 60%.
