The event will be held at Impact Hub on 150 S. State Street, from 5:30-9:30 p.m., and will be attended by entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, and members of the EdTech community.

The party will include light food, drinks, and music. Admission is free, but attendees must register via bit.ly/edtechdemo.

Demo Day is the culmination of BoomStartup's 12-week accelerator program, where companies hone their business model and create a minimal viable product to secure funding at the end of the program from private investors, angel groups, venture capitalists, banks, and others. Throughout the program, a network of mentors and investors, including former founders, executives, and business experts from the EdTech field, support the startups.

BoomStartup is a lean startup accelerator and mentorship-driven seed-stage investment program for technology-based startups, and a founding member of the Global Accelerator Network (GAN). Last year, BoomStartup was named the #12 accelerator in the US by TechCrunch, and has helped raise over $25 million in capital for its companies.
