What is GRO Demo Day?
Over twelve weeks, our GRO11 Incubator founders have been heads-down — building, iterating, and pushing their startups forward. GRO Demo Day is the moment they come up for air and share what they've built.
Join us to hear their pitches, connect with rising entrepreneurs, and celebrate this milestone alongside our Impact Investor, Regions Foundation. Thanks to their support, participating GRO companies will compete for $50,000 in cash prizes for the first time ever! The stakes have never been higher.
Whether you're an investor, founder, or simply someone who loves a good origin story, this is your chance to be part of their journey.
Here's What to Expect:
🎤 Pitches — 5-minute pitches from our graduating companies
💰 Cash Prizes — Two GRO founders walk away with checks in hand
🎙️ Panel — A spotlight on the next gen of the startup ecosystem
🤝 Networking — Connect with fellow innovators & community members
🍷 Happy Hour — Light bites & drinks to keep the energy flowing
