6:00pm - End

​We launched Onstage 6.5 years ago with one mission: connect founders through the earliest, hardest stages of building. Since then, we've facilitated over 20,000 introductions to investors and built an audience of leaders across the European startup ecosystem.

​In August 2026, that audience got a whole lot bigger — Onstage was acquired by Sifted. This is the second Demo Day with Sifted at the helm.

​What began as a fully virtual event has grown into one of Europe's most recognised stages for early-stage founders - and last October, we brought it in-person for the first time, with over 200 VCs queuing around the block to watch the top 20 pitch live in Soho.

​We're back. And we're raising the bar.

​On May 12th, 20 of the most promising early-stage founders in Europe will take the stage in Soho, pitching to an audience of leading VCs, angels, LPs, and operators. Past Demo Day founders have gone on to raise from the likes of a16z and Y Combinator.

​Demo Day will run from the afternoon of May 12th, followed by our legendary afterparty in the same venue.
