Our primary objective with PIE Demo Day is to highlight the achievements of the participants in our program by engaging the broader startup community to celebrate these founders and the companies they are building.
And over a decade of hosting demo days, if we’ve learned one thing, it's this: you attend in hopes of finding ways to support startup founders. So with that in mind, we have decided to change the format for demo day, this year. (PIE is an ongoing experiment, after all )
PIE Demo Day 2022 will be held as a free virtual tradeshow, enabling community members to meet and visit with a variety of startups from PIE — while having the opportunity to meet other mentors, alums, investors, and supporters of the PIE community.
This year, you will have the opportunity to speak directly with the founders at the event — and to connect with others in the community. No sitting through pitches or anxiously awaiting the opportunity to talk to a company that has piqued your interest. The whole event is now designed to enable you to get connected to the startups that interest you, immediately. Or, you're welcome to wander the virtual tradeshow floor to meet a variety of founders and startups.
On October 12 at 3:14PM PDT, we highly encourage you to join 26 startups from PIE, PIE for Our Neighbors, PIE Shop, and Slice of PIE at the PIE Demo Day virtual tradeshow.
