Renaissance Venture
Capital DEI UnDemo Day® will bring together some of
the region's top early-stage companies and technologies for a
virtual event with venture capital investors from around the
country. This is the first UnDemo Day® designed exclusively to
attract national venture capital to diverse founders. The virtual
event will highlight companies from the Midwest and Central U.S.
led by women, people of color, and other diverse communities.
In a format similar to prior UnDemo Days®, the event will
include large group "pitch rooms" as well as hundreds of
curated one-on-one meetings between startups and VCs. Last year
alone, 15 Michigan startups received venture funding as a result of
UnDemo Day® introductions.
Renaissance and its partner Invest Detroit Ventures will conduct
coaching sessions prior to the event to help the participating
startups prepare their pitches, and the startups will also have
access to UnDemo Day® consultation on accounting, legal and
human resources planning for their businesses from event partners
Ernst & Young, Foley & Lardner, and Amy Cell Talent.
