Scale Ready Studio Accelerator: Deal Day!
Join us for the Scale Ready Studio Summer 2026 Cohort Deal Day!
Deal Day is not a traditional demo day — it’s a curated environment designed for real opportunities to take shape amongst the business ecosystem in NYC.
We bring together high-growth founders, corporate leaders, investors, and ecosystem partners into one room with a shared goal: to move beyond introductions and into meaningful conversations that lead to partnerships, customers, and long-term relationships.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Founder Spotlights: short pitches to quickly understand what each company is building and where there's opportunity to engage.
• Curated introductions to founders and decision-makers aligned with your focus.
