Spotlight on Success: Celebrating Our Demo Day Achievers

We kicked off May with an exhilarating display of creativity and entrepreneurship at our annual Demo Day! This pivotal event showcased the brightest ideas from participants in our YES! Program, where young minds pitched their innovative business concepts to a panel of esteemed judges.

We are thrilled to announce that for the first time ever, all five companies who pitched have successfully secured funding, a testament to their outstanding presentations and the potential impact of their ideas:
