Wanna know WTF is happening in Aussie and Kiwi startup land?
Join us at Demo Day and you'll find out.
The Winter’24 Accelerator cohort is ending online abuse, rethinking firefighting to make it safer and more effective, and building novel ways to support mothers post-childbirth. They are revolutionising the tender process, transforming the fitting room experience, finding new ways to extract oil, and re-creating the physio-patient journey. And MORE.
These companies will be joining the ranks of Upguard, Morse Micro, Heaps Normal, Mindset, Propeller, Great Wrap, 5B, Swoop Aero, Aquila, Happy Co & Bugcrowd as Startmate Alumni.
When: Monday, 14th October @ 6:00PM
Where: NSW State Theatre
What: Pitch night (11 companies)
PSA: DEMO DAY ALWAYS SELLS OUT IN ADVANCE. DON’T MISS OUT.
🪩 What is Demo Day?
Every 6 months we unearth ANZ’s grittiest, hungriest founders; the ones with cosmic dreams and colossal drive. These companies join our Accelerator. We invest 120k and they spend 12 weeks laser-focused on their customer, building the best product fathomable and setting the foundations they need for exponential growth.
Demo Day is the grand finale - an event where our Accelerator founders unveil radical progress, boundless ambition, and their world-changing startup ideas to the world.
Tldr; Demo Day is a pitch night, networking event, and most importantly a BIG FAT PARTY. You wouldn't want to miss it.
This will be our biggest event yet with 1,200 seats in the NSW State Theatre. You'll witness 11 extraordinary companies pitch, connect with the brightest minds in ANZ’s thriving startup ecosystem, and celebrate after with some drinks and dancing.
