The moment everything comes together

A Demo Day your school will
talk about for years.

Every StartupToGo cohort ends the same way โ€” students on a stage, pitching a startup they built.

Not a slideshow. Not a class presentation. A real Demo Day โ€” where your students stand in front of parents and educators and pitch a product they built from scratch in 6 sessions.

What happens on Demo Day

  1. 1

    Students present their 10-slide pitch deck โ€” built in Module 5.

  2. 2

    Each student demos their live product โ€” a real URL on the open web.

  3. 3

    A panel of educators (and optionally external judges) gives feedback.

  4. 4

    Certificates of Completion are presented to every student.

  5. 5

    Parents, teachers, and peers see proof that their students can build.

You host it. We plan it.

We handle the Demo Day structure, student preparation, judge briefing, and run-of-show. Your school provides the room. We provide everything else โ€” including a framework your teachers can run independently next year.

Pre-event

We brief your students on pitch structure and presentation.

On the day

Run-of-show provided, judge scoring sheets prepared.

After

Every student receives a Certificate of Completion and a downloadable portfolio of their startup outputs.

14 students. 14 pitches. One room. Parents in the audience. Every student completed all 5 modules and stepped on that stage.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly happens on Demo Day?

Every student presents the 10-slide pitch deck they built in Module 5, then demos the live product they shipped โ€” a real URL on the open web. A panel of educators (and optionally external judges) gives feedback. Certificates of Completion are presented. Parents and peers watch. The whole event runs in about 90 minutes for a 14-student cohort.

Who attends Demo Day?

Parents are the primary audience โ€” they see what their student built. Educators from across your school attend. Peers from other classes are welcome. You can invite external guests: alumni, local entrepreneurs, partner-school leaders, sponsors. At AIA Lusail the Innovation Lead invited the senior leadership team and a small group of parents.

Do schools have to host it themselves?

No. We plan it with you. We provide the run-of-show, brief your students on pitch structure, prepare judge scoring sheets, and walk your teacher through the format. Your school provides the room. After the first Demo Day, your teachers have a framework they can run independently for every cohort that follows.

How long is a typical Demo Day?

Plan for 90โ€“120 minutes. Roughly six minutes per student pitch + Q&A, plus 15 minutes for welcomes and certificate presentations. For larger cohorts we run two parallel rooms or split into morning and afternoon sessions.

What does the school need to provide?

A room with a projector or large screen, basic sound, and seating for the audience. That is it. We bring the structure, the student materials, and the certificate templates. Replit sponsors the platform credits, so there is no tech cost.
