MTC's Inaugural Demo Day

April 22, 2026 9:00 AM - 2:30 PM (EDT)

Description

Don’t just watch startups pitch, engage with them directly. Demo Day is designed to give attendees rare, meaningful access to emerging companies in life sciences and technology. Unlike traditional pitch events where only judges ask the questions, you will have the opportunity to sit down with founders, ask what matters to you, and explore the innovations up close.

Event Format: 

  • Lightning Pitch Session  (9:45 AM – 10:15 AM)
  • Five Interactive Engagement Rounds (10:15 AM – 12:30 PM)
  • Expert Judging
  • Networking Lunch & Open Demo Time (12:30 PM – 2:00 PM)
