​​What Is Demo Day?

​Demo Day is the culminating event of the Evolve Accelerator, an intensive 8-week program designed for early-stage healthcare and life sciences ventures. Throughout the program, founders receive mentorship, participate in educational workshops, and set strategic milestones to advance their ventures. Demo Day is where these founders present their final investor pitches - showcasing their progress, innovation, and vision to an audience of industry leaders, mentors, students and a panel of judges renowned in the healthcare sector

​

Demo Day – Spring 2025

Demo Day Spring 2025 showcased six standout ventures whose compelling pitches—and the conversations that continued well beyond the program—highlighted where healthcare innovation is headed. We welcomed a distinguished panel of judges and a full house of engaged supporters whose questions and insights elevated the discussion. Congratulations to our winning ventures, MicroVitality and Astra Wellbeing, recognized for solutions that rose above an exceptional cohort.
