SVP Presents: Demo Day

SEP17
17:30

About this event

Come see what a room of founders, students, and investors can build together.
On 17 September, Sydney Venture Partners is hosting our first ever Demo Day!
A few months ago, SVP was an idea: what if a group of students learned venture the way it's actually practised, by meeting real founders and doing the real work? Since then our cohort has trained, sourced across the Sydney ecosystem, run first conversations with dozens of founders, and worked through diligence on the ones that stood out.
Demo Day is where we pull back the curtains and put the founders in the spotlight.
What to expect:
Live pitches from a selected group of early-stage founders, each one sourced and assessed by our members
A glimpse under the hood at how we built SVP
Real conversations with founders, investors, operators and students who care about building in Sydney
Who this is for:
Investors - early look at Sydney founders who've already been through our process
Founders - come to observe, support, and find out how to get on stage next time
Students and the venture-curious - the clearest possible answer to "what does SVP actually do?"
Ecosystem builders - meet others making Sydney the best place to start something new
Judges Panel:
Baoying Tong - Blackbird
Harrison Wright - Side Stage Ventures
Andonis Sakatis - Repeat Builders
Antonia Mijatovic - Airtree
Startup lineup will be announced soon!
Come for the pitches. Stay for the conversations.

We'll make this call on the morning. Pickleball Basic Rules & Scoring Before your first time playing, please check out this 5-min video which covers the basic rules and scoring: https://youtu.be/pDDwZgepQeE We'll use traditional scoring rules with games up to 11 (you need to win by 2 points). Beginner Tips Don't worry about looking silly - everyone does at the beginning. Before you serve, make sure you say the score, otherwise you will quickly lose track of it. Try to notice your most common mistake to improve that. Try to get to the kitchen line quickly - don't hang back at the base line like tennis. The serve has to be under arm 'in an upward arc' - so no downward slicing, tennis style serve or side arms. The rule everyone forgets is that the ball has to land once on each side (two-bounce rule) before you can start volleying - so remember 'Serve and Stay' and 'Return and Run'. General Etiquette It's just a social game for a bit of fun, so let's keep it friendly. After each game ends, change it up - e.g. swap your partner, swap courts etc. If anyone is waiti

363 George St, Sydney, Australia
In person

CALLING ALL BUILDERS! If you wish to demo your product, please fill out this form here: Open Google Form A curated evening of production-grade AI demos built by founders, engineers, and researchers. The focus is on real systems: working agents, automation layers, developer tools, and vertical applications that deliver observable impact.

The objective is to showcase the most credible, high-leverage applied AI work happening in the community. Preferred demo types. Product born out of AI-native startups: a product invented out of an organisation with artificial intelligence as it core foundational architecture, operating model, and value proposition Autonomous or semi-autonomous systems operating on real data with minimal human steering. Workflow automation that removes coordination steps in product, engineering, ops, or support. Developer tools that accelerate understanding, coding, testing, or deployment. Knowledge systems that turn unstructured inputs into reliable, actionable outputs. Multi-agent coordination with clear delegation and error-handling behavior. As always, food and drink, engaging conversation, and incredible company will all be provided! Demo List: we will select 5 demo among the people keen to share (apply here). Note that everyone is welcome to attend and network! Please be advised: Space is limited at these events and we can not always accept everyone we would like to.
