Knox St Studios Demo Day

For the past 12 weeks, Durham's most ambitious entrepreneurs have been validating ideas, building products, and preparing to launch. Now it's time to see what they've created.

Join us for an evening of innovation as founders from Knox St Studios' Launch Lab and Google AI Certification programs pitch the businesses they've built with support from Durham County and NC IDEA.

What to Expect:

Founder Pitches – Watch entrepreneurs present their ventures to an audience of investors, business leaders, ecosystem partners and fellow founders. These aren't just ideas anymore—they're tested, validated businesses ready for their next chapter.

Networking Reception – Connect with founders, funders, and fellow entrepreneurs in the stunning setting of The Durham Hotel. Whether you're looking to invest, partner, mentor, or simply celebrate Durham's entrepreneurial community, this is where deals get made and relationships begin.

Who's in the Room:

• Venture capital funds actively investing in early-stage companies
• Successful business owners who've been where these founders are now
• Representatives from funding organizations ready to support growth
• Entrepreneurial ecosystem leaders building Durham's startup community

This is more than a showcase—it's a launchpad. Come see what's next for Durham.
