Identifying early stage startups is generally a challenge and NCET2 does a great job in identifying, vetting and ultimately showcasing the most promising companies. Having a hit rate of 20% is simply outstanding!

The array of ideas and business prowess exhibited by the presenters and the corporate attendees was fantastic at Demo Day. The connections to both the corporate attendees and the other presenters have the potential to accelerate Yost Labs inertial sensor market adoption and was probably the most time and resource efficient business development program that I have participated in. I have also been impressed with post-event followup and support provided by NCET2. Overall, a great program!

Attending the Demo Day was highly beneficial to our startup. Due to the nature of our platform technology, creating research partnerships with technical personnel within corporate entities is essential to our company's success. By attending the Demo Day we were able to speak with the technical scouts and venture arms of a significant number of potential partners, who have much better access to the personnel we are seeking to work with. Making these connections was of great benefit to us.

Attending the Demo Day was a great experience for PolyCeramX. PolyCeramX was able to secure meetings with many high profile partners from the above-mentioned groups at the event. Those meetings lead to productive follow-up conversations that are continuing currently. Acquiring these connections outside of this event would have proven very difficult and time-consuming. This event allowed PolyCeramX to meet with individuals that are accelerating our progress towards commercial success.

The Demo Day provided us with a unique opportunity for national exposure. We had to opportunity to meet with investors one-on-one and learn from the very informative presentations and panels.

Good selection of startups and intriguing showcase presentations.
