​Canopy x SETsquared Bristol Demo Night

​Join Canopy Community and SETsquared Bristol for a special October Demo Night — and our first event in the University of Bristol’s incredible new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus.

​Demo Night is where founders, investors, students and members of Bristol’s startup ecosystem come together to discover new ideas, meet new people and support early-stage founders.

​At the heart of the evening will be a group of startups taking to the stage to demo what they are building.

​Each founder gets just five minutes to tell their story and showcase their startup, followed by five minutes of questions and feedback from our panel.

​Then the audience decides who takes home the Canopy People’s Choice Award.

​But Demo Night isn’t only about pitching.

​It’s about community.

​Come along to meet founders, investors, mentors and people curious about entrepreneurship. Discover startups at an early stage, exchange ideas and make connections that could lead somewhere unexpected.

​This October edition is particularly special. We’ll be gathering at the University of Bristol’s newly opened Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus — a major new hub for business, innovation, AI, digital engineering and emerging technologies, right next to Bristol Temple Meads.

​Whether you’re building your first startup or spin out, investing in early-stage companies, exploring entrepreneurship or simply want to meet interesting people doing interesting things, you’re very welcome.

​Come for the demos. Stay for the conversations.
