Every MakerSquare cohort closes with a public Demo Day in Austin. Builders present their live AI products on stage in front of investors, operators, and Austin's tech community. Real feedback. Real audience. Real products.
Free to attend · Open to the public · Austin, TX
Most programs end with a certificate ceremony. MakerSquare ends with every builder on stage, in front of a live audience, presenting a product that actually runs. No slideshow. No concept pitch. A working AI product, live, with real data.
Every builder gets 5 minutes on stage. The product runs in real time — no pre-recorded footage, no screenshots. Real data, real Claude calls, real output. The audience sees it work or asks why it doesn't.
Seed-stage investors, Austin tech operators, and builders who've shipped their own products. The feedback isn't polite — it's useful. Builders leave knowing exactly what's strong, what to fix, and who in the room wants to talk more.
The Austin tech community that shows up to Demo Day is the same network builders tap for their next venture, job, or collaboration. The products you build are your introduction — people remember what they saw running live.
Demo Days are held at a venue in Austin's tech community. This is what an evening tech event in Austin looks like — builders on stage, audience engaged, real energy.
Every cohort closes with a public Demo Day on the Friday evening of Week 2. All events are in Austin, TX. All are free to attend.
