To be held on 16 October on the Marketing Mania Stage (XMD), Hall 4, from 4pm to 6pm, Flat6Labs' Expand North Star 2023 Demo Day will feature seven startups from the VC firm’s most recent Cycle 5 cohort of its seed-funding and mentorship program, Ignite. Founders will pitch their value proposition and business strategy to potential investors, in a bid to secure additional funding.

Among investors, attendees are expected to include representatives from the likes of Wamda, Aditium, MEVP, and Global Ventures. The seven startups presenting pitches at the Expand North Star 2023 Demo Day have already raised seed funding anywhere between US$500,000 and US$1.5 million, and this platform will give them the opportunity to gain further follow-on funding.
