beyond demo day
from building
to raising.
help with the product. clarity on the story. support through the raise.
founders worked on their products with feedback from the room, refined their positioning, and brought working demos to the final presentations.
the support continued into fundraising: preparing for investor conversations, making introductions, and working through the next steps.
full film coming. due diligence is underway, and founders are still closing their rounds. we’ll share the full story as those wrap up.
the raise.
the people
in the room.
12 founders. a shared address, independent minds.
