The AccelerateME Demo Day is back for a fifth year and is shaking up the Manchester start-up scene yet again! Demo Day will provide an opportunity for the best of Manchester’s student and graduate start-ups to pitch to investors, academics and start-up community.

The teams will have just 5 minutes to pitch to our audience, in a rapid showcase of what they have achieved during the programme. You better pitch to impress!

AccelerateME is a pre-seed accelerator for students and graduates from Manchester Universities. Designed to incubate and grow the best student start-ups, AccelerateME is an intensive 4-month programme that fits around academic studies and provides participants with workshops, resources and funding to develop and grow their businesses successfully.

There will be opening talks and start-up advice from a range of national entrepreneurs and investors, so join us for an evening of pitches, networking, food and drinks.
