SCALE at GMI: Spooky Demo Day [Cohort 2]

​📍 Haunted House (pending)
📅 October 23, 2026 12 - 8p

Six weeks ago, 25 teams walked into SCALE with an idea and a deadline.

​They built through the night on real infrastructure: GMI Cloud GPUs, NVIDIA under the hood, tokens burning while the rest of the city slept. Some ideas died. Some came back stronger. What survived is alive, running, and ready to be seen.

​On October 23, the doors open. 🎃

​Live Demos. Built on GMI Cloud × NVIDIA

​Selected teams presenting:

• ​Live products

• ​Real usage

• ​Clear next steps

​Who's in the room:

• ​VCs & angels active in AI

• ​Founders building at the edge

• ​Partners across the stack

• ​Mentors
