👀 Want a sneak peek into the brilliant minds of the next-generation of founders?
We are beyond stoked to invite YOU to the return of our in-person Demo Day tradition. Demo Day celebrates and showcases the brilliance, tenacity, and growth of founders who’ve recently completed one of our accelerator programs.
Made possible by the support of Ascension Seton, Divinc's Social Justice Innovation Accelerator participants have spent an intensive 12-weeks building the foundations of thriving businesses.
Delivered through captivating 5-minute pitches, you'll get a first look at how these founders are leveraging tech to solve our nation’s biggest challenges in: hiring, workplace culture, data privacy, and wellbeing.
