LaunchX Clubs: Southern California Demo Day

LaunchX Clubs Southern California Demo Day is an event hosted by teen entrepreneurs, for teen entrepreneurs.

Demo Day is an event to celebrate the progress of high school startup founders while supporting these entrepreneurs to continue to grow their businesses. Students in the LaunchX Clubs program have been building their companies since September, conducting market research, prototyping, seeking feedback, iterating, selling, and building their business operations. Demo Day is an opportunity for these innovative, out-of-the-box thinkers to come together from across the Midwest to showcase their progress and build connections with like-minded entrepreneurs. We are excited to welcome teams from around the region who will present their ventures within our year's theme of environmental sustainability to a group of experienced professionals from the local business and entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Please designate one member of your team to submit the form for your team. You need to sign up PER TEAM not per school. Please indicate the names and e-mail addresses of each team member attending when signing up.

• How can my team prepare? Let your mentor/faculty adviser know that you are attending and the date of your event, that way you can work together in being prepared to pitch in front of the board of advisers. If you have any other questions about the regional or finalist event, check out this blog post.

• How long will each team have? Teams will have up to 5 minutes to pitch (the same amount of time as their pitch submission on the platform) plus 3 minutes of Q&A from judges
