For hosts

Demo Day Pilot

A $1,500 manual pilot, powered by UndergradVC. Ops publishes the page with you. This is not a self-serve event builder.

  1. One public page: name, date and time, place or virtual, who should apply, and a link to the school's own application when we have it.
  2. An interest list on upcoming events. We do not email applicants, send reminders, or sell tickets. Ask UndergradVC and ops sends the list.
  3. Named teams appear in the showcase when the host sends them. An empty grid means they are not announced yet. The product does not score judges.
