Our inaugural Demo Day was hosted on Friday the 17th May 2024 in Booth. LTF affiliated companies pitched to a full room of founders, students, and investors. The program order is below as follows with company pitching and presenter:

• Bydd (Peter Zheng)

• Bellie (Oliver Drazsky)

• Safe Pose (Guido Trevisan)

• ClubHub (Ilan Puterman)

• Relate (Leo Li)

• Gotchu (Will Langford)

• Gamble Star (Adam Heiba)

• Clinic AI (Vrishank Saini)

• Exactics (Julian Kage)

• Gateway (Sebastien Ludwig)

• Backslide (Kevin Gugelmann)

• Kestrel (Andy Goldschmidt)

• Haldune (Firas Hashmi)

• Freestyle (Ben Swerdlow)

• Scout (Vikram Mahendru)

• Perle (Rauf Hürcan, Alex David)

As an aside, we think the scale of post-demo day funding speaks to the grit of the UChicago startup ecosystem, something we hope will edge further from x+1 and more towards x^2. Thank you to all those who helped put this event together - until next year.
