常见问题
Do startups raise money at demo day?
Rarely on the day itself; demo day generates meetings, and rounds close in the following weeks.
Is demo day still relevant in 2026?
For top programs, yes: it remains a dense source of first meetings, though many investors now commit before demo day to get ahead of competition.
