Why Demo Days are Stella-R

Demo Days are a stella-r showcase of accelerator startups who have finished a program, to celebrate their milestones with & for accelerators to build ecosystems. The day can help to increase exposure, expand networks, facilitate connections with potential partners and unlock additional resources. Hosted at the end of an accelerator program, a demo day is a formal reveal of an accelerator's talent. Startups showcase their ideas and investors scout new deals.

The opportunity for startups to give their culminating pitch is exceptional and brilliant for connections to investors, mentors and advisors. From the ability to secure new rounds of investment to the partnership and networking opportunities, Demo Days are immensely valuable to startup entrepreneurs. For accelerators, demo day is a fantastic time will encourage other exceptional individuals to take the plunge and launch their own business too, creating a stronger, more vibrant tech industry and startup community.

While this event is all about the founders, to add to the excitement, the appeal and the overall entertainment value for the attendees, typically, an incredible keynote speaker is identified to set the tone and increase excitement.

Now, it wouldn’t be a Demo Day without investors. Accelerators know the type of investors who would be ideal for their entrepreneurs. Founders gain the opportunity to get in front of the right people, gauge their interest and hopefully secure them as an investor.

Throughout a startup’s lifespan it is unlikely they will ever again get an opportunity to pitch in front of such a large and engaged audience, let alone one filled with local and national some global) investors ready to fund the next big thing. Along with that, the sheer amount of marketing Demo Day provides for a company is unparalleled. It can act as a launching pad, the big reveal, an official opening.?

AT STELLA LABS, WE ARE FILLED WITH PRIDE TO ANNOUNCE OUR DEMO DAY ENTREPRENEURS

As Chairwoman of the board at Stella, I am elated for these founders! This virtual Demo Day will be passionate, compelling, and informative.?
