The biannual event connects 500+ accredited investors with a cohort of 30 startups selected by a coalition of deep tech VC firms.
SAN MATEO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Boost VC, a leading pre-seed investor in deep tech, today kicked off its biannual Demo Day online. The event connects 500+ venture capitalists, angels and syndicates with a curated group of 30 seed-stage startups. Investment verticals of focus include advanced materials, aerospace, AI and machine learning, biotech, climate tech, crypto/web3, virtual and augmented reality, logistics and manufacturing, robotics and gaming. Active, accredited investors – including family office investors, corporate VCs, angel investors and Limited Partners investing in or curious about deep tech startups – are welcome to apply to attend.
“Our Demo Day mission is to translate the pulse of deep tech to the market, and connect investors and founders to accelerate their potential,” said Adam Draper, co-founder and Managing Director of Boost VC. “This is our 20th Demo Day, and the excitement and opportunity to bring some of the brightest ideas and new capital together is just as strong as our inaugural event. The potential to solve or make measurable progress against massive problems related to climate change, the defense of our nation, self-sovereignty and automation is inspiring.”
Unlike other Demo Days, startups at Boost VC Demo Day are selected from a coalition of deep tech VC firms, including Draper Associates, Reinforced Ventures, Vibe Capital and Pathbreaker Ventures. Firms nominate startups within their portfolio that are actively raising rounds alongside Boost VC. Examples of past startup participants include:
“Boost VC Demo Day not only kicked off but essentially closed our Seed round last year. We were introduced to about 15 funds through the event, four of whom invested, including our lead investor,” said Chad Massura, Founder of Rosy Soil. “I applied to participate on a whim, and I’m so glad that I did. I’d highly recommend the event to any founder looking for meaningful investor connections and feedback.”
Boost VC writes $500,000 checks as the first investor into companies raising $2 million or less. The firm is one of the most active investors in deep tech, averaging one deal per week. For startups earlier than pre-seed and to foster more deep tech entrepreneurship, Boost VC also offers a $50,000 Founder Start Check. The firm has more than $225 million in AUM and counts companies like Coinbase, Radiant Nuclear, DeepGram, FitXR, Navier, Volley, Etherscan and Starfish Space among its portfolio.
Boost VC Demo Day includes access to an online platform that makes it easy to connect with founders and investors from all over the world. Investors can filter startups by category and stage, and begin a conversation with founders via one-click. The site will open Tuesday, October 1st at 9am PT until Friday, October 18, 2024.
