communities demo pitching 
This is going to be BIG.

Personally, I find pitch events to be a little bit contrived. However, the innovation community seems to be in love with this format, so you can’t be a VC without watching a bunch of them. For the most part, while the companies may be interesting, the actual pitches are usually so-so. Those stand out. That's why I have a job.

The frantic pace of technology cycles, the amount of tech news, the blogs, the conferences, the demo days, the announcements, the fundings, the IPOs. They want you to attend demo days. start-ups are overvalued… The other thing they say is that they can’t tell on Demo Day which are the good start-ups. It’s exhausting.

and I thought if we brought the community together for common purpose we could create more of a sense of community to help new entrepreneurs get funded, assemble teams, raise profiles and help with biz dev, product, etc. Accelerators have been great for our respective communities. Demo’d to death. Quality endures.

This was evident at the Twiistup pre-event company pitch last week at UCLA. If you demo your product (which is always great) then tell us part of the story while you’re demo’ing. Also, asking is not appropriate at a marquee conferences like TechCrunch50, DEMO, Twiistup and the like. NEVER lead with features.

It seems like every time a demo day ends , there’s a new one waiting around the corner — and as you know, TechCrunch is no stranger to covering them. But today we’re highlighting the demo day for a new wave of crypto projects and teams who participated in the latest cohort for Alliance DAO, a web3 accelerator and builder community.

If all my deals came as intros from trusted connections that I know for years versus at founder pitch events that''s interesting data. If you meet someone at a pitch event, they''ve already got a company and they''re looking to close as quickly as possible. In fact, that''s what I tend to do--at least, what I say that I do.

Given the proliferation of accelerators and incubators that pre-vet entrepreneurs, roll up their sleeves to help companies, and dress them up for demo days, the best and brightest are being showcased to look better than ever. Drop by AngelList, where startups have been vetted by a community of advisors and other investors.
