Demo Night & Tech Jam Late
Demo Night Cornwall, brought to you by Tech Cornwall and Canopy Community during UK Tech Week is a lively and engaging event designed to combat startup failure by fostering collaboration, feedback, and innovation. Founders present their ideas, products, or services to a diverse and energetic audience of investors, industry experts, and entrepreneurs while enjoying a fun and interactive atmosphere.
Startups face failure rates as high as 90% in their early years, and Demo Night provides a platform to overcome these challenges through diverse perspectives, critical reflections, and iterative collaboration.
You can expect:
- Presentations: Founders present their products or services in concise, focused demonstrations to an in-person and online audience.
- Interactive Feedback: Using tools like Mentimeter, the audience provides real-time feedback prompting dynamic discussions and vibrant networking opportunities.
- Meaningful Networking: Connect, share insights, and build a sense of community among global attendees, creating a uniquely supportive and enjoyable environment.
- Diverse Audience: Engage with an international audience, enriching the event with varied perspectives.
Believing that innovation thrives on diversity, the event invites founders to learn, grow, and refine their ideas in a friendly and inclusive setting that’s as entertaining as it is valuable.
