About the Demo Day

The StepFWD Together Demo Day is the finale of the first part of the accelerator program, Learn and Connect where the 20 startups initially selected in the program participate in workshops structured around five important pillars for advanced early-stage startups: team building, product management, growth, smart founding and pitching, connect with investors and industry experts and prepare for Demo Day.  

In the Demo Day event, based on the evaluation of a jury composed of program mentors and StepFWD team members, the 6 teams are selected to move on to the second stage of the program.

The second phase - Grow, will run from January to April 2024, and the program content will be tailored to the needs of each of the 6 selected teams. Each startup will have a dedicated mentoring team assigned consisting of entrepreneurs who have demonstrated their ability to help teams grow at an accelerated pace, industry experts, and a member of the StepFWD Together team.

After 8 intense weeks, the StepFWD Together Cohort is ready to present their progress and share their future plans with you!
