Wayfinders Demo Day
20 founders. 3 minutes each. One night to see the companies before everyone else does.
On Sunday, October 18, 20 pre-seed and seed startups take the stage at 501 Second Street in San Francisco to show what they've built and where they're headed. Every company was hand-picked by SF founders who've been through YC and a16z speedrun, and most are opening their pre-seed or seed rounds soon.
A few of the 20 presenting:
Hermai - global factory network for physical AI training data and robot deployment
Olvia - AI automated home health operations
EverySeat - a collective concert experience, turns fancams into official releases
Nuphos - the agent workspace for your team
CheatGTM - scales product discovery through high-volume UGC, 120k users with $0 ad spend.
Vidi Labs - Visual positioning system for robots, down to centimeter.
Kiwi - Your AI co-host for networking events.
On-us - B2B2C Incentive intelligence platform for customer engagement
LongLink - Trusted Connectivity Backbone for Allied Autonomy
