StartupWave Demo Days have been launched to showcase promising startups to investors, corporates, mentors, and other who can offer advisory and funding support to them. What’s unique about StartupWave Demo Days is that the focus is much larger than plain-vanilla investor-enterprise matchmaking; the team spends time with each select startup to understand which individuals and organizations can help them solve critical business challenges, reach customers at greater scale, and even be potential strategic clients. Startups who present at the Demo Day are given intensive preparatory support in refining their business models and creating their pitches. The first StartupWave Demo Day was held on December 4th, 2015 in Mumbai. A diverse group of 8 startups pitched to 35+ investors, corporates, and potential partners.

The latest Demo Day was held on April 20th, 2016 in Mumbai and was focused on technology and product startups. Six startups spread across IoT, Healthcare, Disability, and B2B presented to 40+ investors, corporates and potential partners. Most of these startups are currently speaking with various investors and corporates, and some of them also found clients at the Demo Day. If you are an entrepreneur and are interested in your startup being evaluated for our next Demo Day, register on StartupWave today.
