Goal
The goal of Demo Night is feedback.
Every startup that presents its story is looking for questions, feedback, introductions and insights.
We do this by having a panel of experts from the community as part of the webinar and also taking Q&A from the LIVE audience.
What participants also find is that they receive a lot of feedback and reach outs before/during/after the event and many have received funding, had reach outs from people wanting to join the team, partnerships have been formed and new customers engaged.
Every startup gets a different response and every demo night has a different audience. The way we do things is all established to bring a bucket load of serendipity for everyone involved.

Panellists
The contributors to the demo night panel this month include:
Ambassadors
A special feature of this edition is the Ambassador role. Several members of Canopy will be roaming around demo night to help you, as Ambassadors for the community.
Their primary mission is to help you settle in to the venue and the event. Then to help you meet people, particularly if you are from out of town or if you are looking for someone specific.
Each Ambassador will be wearing a hat or a Canopy pin. Just look out for the big smile and ask for help. We all want you to have a great evening.
Matt will be one of the Ambassadors on the night. If you’d like to know more about the evening or Canopy community please feel free to reach out before Nov 2 and start a conversation.
Three things to do as you get ready for Demo Night
In the run up to demo night here are three things you can do to get ready for the evening and make the most of the monthly dose of serendipity:
Using the links above, reach out to the Founders of each startup on linkedin and say hi. Maybe ask them some questions that interest you even before the event takes place.
Take a look at the social media [Facebook] [LinkedIn] for the evening and start a discussion. Reach out to any fellow attendees that you’d like to chat with
Share the link to the event with some friends and lets build up the diversity of our audience on the night. The greater the diversity, the stronger the interactions/feedback/questions and the higher quotient of serendipity for all.
