SF DEMO NIGHT 🚀 (w/ The GenAI Collective)
🔥 SF’S #1 TECH SHOWCASE IS BACK! 🔥
San Francisco’s sharpest minds. The boldest new tech. One electric night!
Every month, we raise the bar – and in May, we’re taking it even higher. The top founders, engineers, and product obsessives will gather under one roof to experience the next wave of game-changing innovation. The room will be packed, the stakes will be high, and the spotlight will be on 10 elite pre-Series A teams ready to steal the show.
Brought to you by The GenAI Collective, Roam, and Shadeform, here's what's happening:
⚡️ 10 curated demos from the city's most promising builders
🎤 Unfiltered insights and Q&A from the crowd
🧠 A powerful app that keeps you connected to every demoist
🏆 Live community voting to crown the night’s champions
Previous demo night recaps: March '25, January '25, December '24, August '24, June '24, May '24, March '24 🎞️
On this special evening, we’ll be hand-selecting 10 demoists – the best of the best – to show off their products and technology to the world!
If you would like to demo and receive feedback from the SF tech community, please click the button below and fill out the form! Submissions close the Thursday before the event at 11:59pm.
Note: we want attendees to get the exclusive scoop – things that the rest of the industry will only see months down the line! Therefore, we ask that all demo applicants are pre-series A.
This event offers a groundbreaking interactive experience! With the demo night app in hand, every attendee is engaged and active! Through the app, you can easily discover more about the demo presenters, join the conversation by asking questions, share valuable feedback, join early-access lists, and more! 🙌
When the night wraps up, the entire community will have a say in selecting the winners. Those champions will earn a permanent place in our Demo Night Hall of Fame! 🏆
