We'd like to extend to you an invitation to join us for our DC Demo Day taking place on December 7th.

At Demo Day, you can enjoy networking, a hybrid pitch viewing experience and the ability to chat and connect directly with our startups, program directors, global team, and our amazing group of mentors who have helped the startups grow substantially over the course of the program.

The presenting startups will join the ranks of other FoundersBoost alumni who've gone on to raise over $140 million and been accepted into the top accelerators globally.

Applications open two times a year, and stay open typically for 6 weeks. After applications close, we’ll review applications for about two weeks, and spend time getting to know even more about your team, market, progress and idea. Our goal is to notify the final group of companies being accepted within three weeks from the application closing date.
