SheDemos 2016
Event Information
Description
#SheDemos is a collaboration between SheStarts and Babson’s WIN Lab built to highlight high-growth female founders and their startups in the city of Boston. The night will begin with over a dozen startups showcasing their products to the public, followed by the top five teams pitching their products to a panel of esteemed judges. At the end of the pitch sessions, one winner will be announced and awarded thousands of dollars worth of in-kind prizes. Those not in the final five still have a chance to bring home prizes as the "fan-favorite", determined by the company that garners the most public votes.
Up to ten will be selected to showcase and up to an additional 5 teams will be selected to demo live at the event. Selected teams will be notified by November 1.
The demo event will be held on November 9, 2015 at C-Space. The winner of the demo competition will be selected and announced at the event by a panel of judges.
Our esteemed panel of judges will include:
David Chang, Entrepreneur & Angel Investor
Shereen Shermak, Director, Good Growth Capital
Galen Moore, Editor in Chief, Streetwise Media
Deb Kemper, Golden Seeds Angel Investment Group
Payal Agrawal Divakaran, .406 Ventures
