Demo Day 2024
This past Friday, April 19, was VCU da Vinci Center’s Demo Day. VCU students, alumni, and community members all joined the stage to pitch their ideas, projects, prototypes, and businesses. There was a wide range of businesses and products including, board games, water bottle advertisements, organic and sustainable pet treats, and more! After the engaging pitches we gathered in SHIFT Retail Lab for a reception where we had the opportunity to network and learn more about the businesses that were pitched on stage and other amazing businesses that didn’t pitch.
There were 4 categories of pitches: 1 Minute Idea Pitches, 3 Minute Academic Pitches, 3 Minute Alumni Pitches, and 3 Minute Featured Pitches. There was one winner in each category:
1 Minute Idea Pitches:
Jerica Simmons – Cultivated Coil
3 Minute Academic Pitches:
Luke Florio – Creative Correspondence
3 Minute Alumni Pitches:
Linn Amalie Odegard – Norveda
3 Minute Featured Pitches:
Catherine Emblidge & Celeste Chance – Everything But The Booze (EBTB)
Congratulations to all of the winners! And a special thank you to all of our company partners and the participants! We are looking forward to another Demo Day in 2025!
