On February 12 and 13, 2019, Startup Boost, the number one global pre-accelerator program, will host a virtual demo day.
What’s a virtual demo day, you may ask? Simple. It’s a demo day of pitches but this time the startups will pitch their ideas in an online, virtual environment. Investors and interested viewers can ‘tune in’ and watch what happens.
“The virtual demo day breaks down the geographical and temporal barriers of a traditional demo day.”
“For the upcoming virtual demo day, investors, accelerators and corporate businesses will be able to watch 25 pre-seed and seed tech startups pitching ideas in areas including health, fintech, AI, e-commerce and more,” says Startup Boost founding member, Gene Murphy.
This is a first
This is a first-of-its-kind demo day for a pre-accelerator. The virtual demo day gives investors, accelerators, and potential partners access to view pitches by Startup Boost’s Fall alumni.
The alumni consist of 25 pre-seed and seed-stage tech startups from the Fall programs in Detroit, Dublin, Los Angeles, and New York.
Viewers will need to register to join the 48-hour virtual event.
