Demo at De Montfort - a new event series hosted by the Innovation Centre. Demo at De Montfort focusses on the art of demonstration. In start-up, tech and business, pitching has always held the limelight. Pitching is great to validate ideas, get early stage investment or market your business. But it’s important to use the right method at the right time. Demos are an ideal tool for businesses who’ve already built a product or service to differentiate themselves by showing what their solution is and how it benefits the customer. Demos are great for businesses who are looking to raise a series A or B round, onboard new customers or get insight to improve. This series will showcase great products and services and demonstrate how to demo in the right way.
Each Demo event in the series will focus on a theme which will bring together demonstrators from across the UK.
