Demo Day is just about a week away, and we hope you've been following some of our startups' stories on the blog. You've gone behind the scenes of Runr, dawaCare, Evo, Cyqlo, SnapPitch, SyStem, and Enrich–and aren't you dying to meet the entire 2017 cohort?
We won't be able to share in depth interviews with them all (although there are a few more coming this week!), but you can get a sense for who will be at Demo Day by reading descriptions of all of your favorite CCNY startups below. Some of their names have changed, but they're still equally excited to share their prototypes, apps, and business models with you!
What's your role? At Demo Day, you'll choose one team from each category to win the Audience Choice Award! The winning startups will receive $1,000 from your votes alone. So who will you “invest” in?
