Ignition 2.0 Demo Day
Demo Day is the culminating event for NexusLA’s Ignition 2.0 program. Over the course of 8 weeks, Ignition participants learned how to commercialize their companies, by gaining a more thorough understanding of their business model, go-to-market strategy, and financials. At Demo Day, graduating companies will show off what they learned and pitch for a $10,000 investment. Demo Day is free to the public and will be on May 25 from 5-7 at the Goodwood Library.
