Cal Poly engineering senior Evan Lalanne pitches his startup X-Adapt.
– The Cal Poly Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE) will showcase seven startups at its annual Demo Day in person at SLO Brew Rock and online via YouTube live on Tuesday, Sept. 13.
The event culminates the CIE’s 2022 Summer Accelerator program, an intensive 13-week program that helps Cal Poly students and recent graduates develop their startup ideas into scalable businesses. Representatives from each startup will pitch their business ideas and present what they’ve accomplished with the help of dedicated CIE mentors and staff.
“This year’s cohort is coachable, curious, professional, and eager to add their own chapters to Cal Poly and the CIE’s history of entrepreneurial success,” said Jose Huitron, the CIE’s director of student innovation programs, who oversees program delivery and mentorship to student-led ventures. “I’m looking forward to Demo Day and the students showing the community what’s possible when you embrace entrepreneurship and innovation to bring ideas to life.”
The summer program provides teams with $10,000 in seed funding to build their startups, as well as access to mentorship from industry experts and tailored workshops that delve into the details of building a business. Demo Day will give these teams the opportunity to show how hard work and collaboration have prepared them to take their startups into the next stage.
Cal Poly graduate Corinne Cooper pitches her startup Sustainamade.
The cohort includes a variety of industries and disciplines, including accessible technologies, menstrual comfort wear, and firearm safety:
Demo Day general admission tickets to SLO Brew Rock are $10. In-person seating is limited. The event will also be live-streamed for those who register for virtual tickets. Register for tickets at DemoDay22.eventbrite.com.
