Hub101's IdeaToDo Program Demo Day Recap

Last week, on Tuesday, June 7th, we hosted Demo Day, a celebration and showcase of the startups in our IdeaToDo incubator/accelerator program.


IdeaToDo is Hub101's 14-week program that takes entrepreneurs from a startup idea, through validation and development, to launch.



Demo Day is a culmination event for the entrepreneurs as they embark on their journey as startup founders, many of them on the road to fundraising. It is also an opportunity for the community to meet the founders, learn about their startups, view product demos, and network with the startup community.



The event took place in a hybrid format, and we had about 45 people in person at Hub101, and another 50 people online, via the event platform Airmeet.


You can watch the Demo Day replay here (you may need to create a login).



The startups that presented were:
