300 participants, 30 start-ups, 4 cluster winners - this was Demo Day 2024!
For our Batch #15 start-ups, it was the day of days - after 3 intensive months in our program, they finally got to present their businesses to a buzzing audience of 300 investors, mentors and corporate partners and participate in 108 meetings. It was a blast for everyone involved!
In 4 clusters, the XPRENEURS and TechFounders start-up teams competed for the best pitches in front of an expert jury selected from our UnternehmerTUM Investor Network partners and corporate sponsors.
