Every big idea starts somewhere.

For 10 student teams at NOVA University, it started with a blank page and a semester to figure it out. Customer interviews, failed assumptions, pivots, prototypes - the full journey.

On May 20th, they take the stage.

The NOVA Starters Academy Demo Day is your chance to see what early-stage entrepreneurship actually looks like - raw, real, and built by the next generation of founders.

Live pitches, jury Q&A sessions, and winners announced during the evening, followed by networking and refreshments.

Whether you're a founder, investor, mentor, or just curious about what the next generation is building - come see what NOVA students are made of.
