Demo Day
Students present what they are building to the people who can help. Research, startups, and projects. Executives and investors on the floor, press in the room.
How demo day works
What It Is
Student founders and researchers present to peers and executives on the floor, not in a theater. Investors and press are in the room.
Who Can Present
Anyone with research, a startup, or a project they can show. Undergraduates, graduate students, and people already out of school are all welcome to apply.
How We Choose
We screen. We ask whether it is real, whether you can explain it in two minutes, and whether it is past the idea stage. A mix of stages is fine.
What to Expect
Three minutes each, with a screen, in front of people you do not usually get in front of. Afterward you are on the floor with them. Finalists pitch at 1:20. The expo is open the rest of the day, and everyone else who registers with a project gets an expo table.
How to Apply
Register for the conference and answer the demo day question on the form. We follow up with the people we pick.
