Moledaos’ Demo Day is back! Our first Demo Day of 2023 will be happening March 31st!

Looking to get your project in front of VCs and Institutions? Read on to find out more!

Why Demo Day?

On top of large-scale global hackathons, smaller events, such as Demo Days, are also indispensable in developing the blockchain ecosystem. Many new Web 3.0 projects need more channels to gain access to funding and human resources. Moledao’s vision is to build a one-stop blockchain ecosystem to guide more people to buidl, grow, and empower themselves. Demo Day hopes to achieve this vision.

What is Demo Day?

Demo Day is a day which commonly refers to project showcases organised by an incubator, accelerator, or in our case, community (Moledao), whereby founders pitch their projects to a room full of investors, in the hope of securing investment and potential mentorship.

Each Demo Day, Moledao will invite prominent Web 3.0 investors to join the event. Interested investors are welcome to email us at hello@moledao.io to join future seasons of Demo Day.

When Will Demo Day #3 Be Held?

Demo Day will be held by Moledao every quarter. They may be completely online, or they may be a hybrid event which combines both online and offline activities.

MoleGather — Demo Day #3 will be held in March 31st completely online. Demo Day #3 will be a public event. We warmly welcome all startup projects and investors in Web 3.0 to participate.
