What is Demo Day?
On Demo Day, Y Combinator's latest batch of startups present to an invite-only audience of approximately 1,500 investors and media. Starting with the Fall 2024 batch, Demo Day is back to being in-person.
Demo Day is a private, invitation-only event and always oversubscribed. If you receive an invitation, RSVP yes to confirm your spot.
There is no continuous list of investors who are always invited to Demo Day. Investors are invited based on their recent investment history in YC companies.
When is Demo Day?
Demo Day for the Fall 2024 batch will be held on December 4, 2024.
Where is Demo Day held?
Demo Day will be held in San Francisco.
Can I participate online?
For those who can't make it to San Francisco, we will provide access to the demo day website, which has information on the companies that presented.
How do I get an invitation to Demo Day?
Invitations are software generated and based on recent investment history in YC startups. If you do not receive an invitation, the best way to attend future Demo Days is to invest in YC companies.
A partner at my firm has received a Demo Day invite. Can additional people at our firm receive Demo Day invitations?
The invitation to Demo Day is for you and you only. It is not transferable and it cannot be used for multiple people.
Invitations to Demo Day are software generated and based on recent investment history in YC startups. We recommend you tell this person to research YC companies on our Startup Directory and invest in them. Then they will automatically be eligible to be invited to future Demo Days.
Can I transfer the invitation to someone else in my firm?
If you would like to transfer your invitation to another partner at the same firm, please email us at demoday@ycombinator.com.
Transfers to other partners are generally fine; transfers to associates or other non-partner staff are not.
