Join Us for INCUBATE’s 21st Cohort Demo Day Showcase

INCUBATE, The University of Sydney's award-winning Flagship Startup Program, proudly presents Demo Day – a pitch night showcase of the very best early-stage startups from founders in The University of Sydney community.

We have supported 188 startups from the University of Sydney Community through our Accelerator program to-date and we can’t wait for you to meet our latest cohort of innovators. Demo Day will be a first look at their game-changing ideas and a chance to meet the founders behind them. The diversity of ideas this year guarantees something for everyone to love. From EdTech to MedTech - this cohort are working to predict floods, build worlds, care for carers, finetune your focus and so much more.

Organisational and Program Lead, Kai Man Yuen says this of the event: “It is fitting that the Demo Day is held in an e-sports arena as there are similarities between a startup and an e-sports team. Both require strategy, practice, and teamwork under pressure. Just as players step into the arena to showcase their skills to an audience, founders present their vision to investors and peers. Success in both comes from preparation, adaptability, and the courage to perform on stage—turning months of hard work into a defining moment. As our founders step onto the stage to showcase their vision, the game truly begins. We hope you enjoy your night—Ready Player One!”

Doors open 5.30pm

Pitches begin 6.00pm

Food, drinks and networking: 7.30pm

Be surprised, inspired, challenged and excited by the bold new ideas from a cohort of 9 startups plus two Startup Year teams.  Connect with fellow startup founders, investors, University of Sydney stakeholders and industry professionals.
