EPIC SF Demo Night@Finding next Moat
Every great company started as a room full of people who believed before it was obvious.
This is that room.
EPIC SF Demo Night is a one-night event during TechCrunch Disrupt week where 10 hand-picked startups take the stage in front of 10 venture investors — not to impress, but to answer one question: why is this company going to be impossible to compete with?
We're not here for pitches that sound good. We're here for founders who have found something real — a distribution edge, a technical depth, a network effect that compounds — something that five years from now, people will look back at and say: that was the moat.
Finding Next Moat isn't just a theme. It's the filter. Every team on stage, every investor in the room, every conversation that happens over drinks afterward — it all runs through the same question. Is this the one?
The Night
🎤 Demo Showcase — 10 startups, back to back. Tight, focused, no filler. Each team gets their moment to make the case.
🥂 After Party — Once the last demo wraps, the bar opens and the agenda disappears. This is where the real conversations happen. EPIC Connector's team stays on the floor all night making introductions, closing gaps, and making sure the right people find each other.
How to Join
Demo Pitch Pass
Apply to pitch on stage. 10 spots. Selected by EPIC Connector. If you get in, you're in front of the right room.
VC Pass
By invitation or application. For investors who want early access to what's being built right now.
Founder Pass
Not pitching, but want to be in the room? This pass is for founders only. You'll share a bit about where you are — stage, funding, sector — so we can make the connections count.
EPIC Connector exists to close the gap between great founders and the people who can change their trajectory. This is one night of that mission, in the city where it matters most.
