Startup Demos: DraperU x Stellar

After a very intense three-week sprint (read: no one slept, everyone pitched), we’re wrapping the DraperU Ventures x Stellar accelerator with a lightly exclusive Demo Day in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Out of 500+ global applicants, only 20 startups made it through our application gauntlet and brutal screening process. These teams earned a grant to build the future of Web3, AI, and fintech—and now they’re here to convince you they’re worth a second meeting.

Expect:

• Fast pitches, real products, and actual traction
• Some of our favorite Draper-backed portfolio companies in the room
• Draper & other curated VCs / angels in the room
• Light bites & signature drinks poolside, and (hopefully) zero awkward investor conversations.

About the hosts: Draper University is a Silicon Valley-based early stage accelerator founded by legendary VC Tim Draper, focused on backing bold founders building transformative companies. Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) is the driving adoption and development of the Stellar blockchain, empowering builders to create accessible, global financial infrastructure.

This one’s curated for tier 1 investors and ecosystem leaders — and yes, we’re checking RSVPs at the door. If accepted, you’ll join us and our partners from the Stellar Development Foundation for an evening of startups, sparking conversation, and maybe even a deal or two.
