Thursday 14th May / Live & Virtual Event
Demo Day
Our 11th annual Demo Day. An invite-only evening where some of New Zealand’s most exceptional founders present to investors backing the next generation of Kiwi companies.
what to expect

Eleven years. Hundreds of founders. One evening.

Demo Day brings together the founders shaping New Zealand’s future and the investors who backed them first.

Each founder takes the stage to share their vision, their traction, and where they are headed next. This is your chance to connect with the people building tomorrow’s most important companies, and get early sight of the opportunities behind them.
