- This short video is a great overview of the UnDemo Day® process, also described below:
- Qualifying startups apply to participate in UnDemo Day®, sharing basic information about their company. The application takes about 20 minutes to complete, and requires a pitch deck. Qualifications for Spring vs. Fall UnDemo Day® are slightly different, so please read all forms carefully.
- Startup applicant information is compiled and organized by Renaissance, then made available to all venture capital investors (VCs) interested in participating in 1:1 meetings at UnDemo Day®.
- VCs, as part of the registration process for the event, will decide which startups they’d like to meet. They’ll submit their preferences to Renaissance.
- Renaissance will curate 1:1 meeting schedules for startups and investors, based on these investor preferences. 1:1 meetings are in 15 or 20-minute increments. There will be up to six or seven 1:1 meeting time slots.
- The startups that receive the most meeting requests from investors will be included on the Renaissance Startup Hotlist, a database accessible to investors that is refreshed twice per year, following UnDemo Day® events.
