The capstone of the Plus58 residency. One day. One room. Over 100 world-class VC and private investors — and the companies that earned their seat in front of them.
Demo Day is the moment the entire twelve weeks was built toward. Every decision made inside the residency — every product pivot, every investor narrative, every pitch rehearsal — converges here.
This is a private, invitation-only event. Attendance is curated by Plus58. No tourists, no spectators — only people with the authority and appetite to write a check or make a meaningful introduction.
Every company leaves Demo Day with warm capital conversations already in motion. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.
Each company delivers a focused, high-stakes presentation to the full room. Tight format. No filler. Every minute is earned.
Presentations are 7 minutes with Q&A. Format is rehearsed and refined over the final two weeks of the residency.
After the main showcase, founders move into back-to-back private sessions with investors who flagged interest during presentations.
Scheduled by Plus58 based on investor interest signals. Every company is guaranteed a minimum number of private sessions.
The day closes with a private dinner and networking event — the moment where relationships deepen and deals begin to take shape.
Invitation-only. Founders, investors, operators, and Plus58 partners in the same room for the evening.
We curate the audience with the same rigor we apply to selecting companies. Every seat is filled by someone who can move the needle for a company in the room.
Top-tier VC funds from Latin America, the US, and Europe with active mandates at the pre-seed and seed stage.
High-conviction angels and family offices with deep networks and a track record of backing early-stage companies.
Operators and executives from leading companies who can open doors, provide distribution, or become early customers.
Epakon Capital and Arqos participate as active follow-on investors for companies that demonstrate exceptional progress.

Demo Day Prep
Final polish, investor outreach, Demo Day rehearsals, and media preparation.
Demo Day is not the finish line — it is the starting gun for the next chapter. Every company leaves with a public record of what they built, warm capital conversations in motion, and the full Plus58 network behind them.
Plus58, Epakon Capital, and Arqos actively participate as follow-on investors for companies that demonstrate exceptional progress during the residency.
Every Plus58 company joins a permanent alumni network. The relationships built during the residency — with co-founders, mentors, and investors — last far beyond twelve weeks.
Plus58 remains an active partner after Demo Day. We make introductions, support fundraising, and stay close to every company in the portfolio.
