See local start-ups pitch their businesses to Houston-based entrepreneurs at START Houston’s monthly Demo Day in EaDo.
Houston’s own version of the popular program Shark Tank, Demo Day happens live on the fourth Thursday of every month. Open to the public, each event features four real entrepreneurs pitching new start-up and business concepts, ideas and strategies to their peers, possible investors and neighbors. The session is free to attend with an RSVP, and everyone enjoys complimentary beer, bites and, of course, networking.
The event takes place on the fourth Wednesday of each month at START Houston, a co-working space in East Downtown that’s quickly becoming an incubator for innovative tech and Houston-based startups.
