UzCombinator accelerator
Demo Day
The most important day of the 45-day accelerator. Founders take the stage, and their conversations with investors start that same day.
45 days of work, one stage
Founders admitted to UzCombinator spend 45 days working side by side with mentors and trackers: testing the product, finding first customers, growing their numbers.
Demo Day is the final stage of that road. Every founder presents their startup to venture funds and angel investors. For some it is a first investment; for all of them it is a big step.
