Please join us for the first ever SDSM2020 Demo Day! This event is something that the original founders of StartupSD had dreamt about and we are thrilled to be able to realize this vision and highlight the very first group of founders showcased at SDSM2020 Demo Day.

The 10 companies in our incubator will get a nice and tight 3 minutes to share what they're building with judges, founders, investors, EIRs and conference goers. The goal is to connect the companies further in the community, get additional exposure and gather valuable feedback from investors...and maybe raise a round of funding.
