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.
- 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.
- An interest list on upcoming events. We do not email applicants, send reminders, or sell tickets. Ask UndergradVC and ops sends the list.
- 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.
