As 2025 draws to a close, Imaguru Startup HUB, in partnership with Startup Grind, invites founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders to come together for one of the final and most reflective gatherings of the year: Imaguru Demo Day & Investors Gathering. Designed as both a celebration of entrepreneurial progress and a forward-looking checkpoint, the event brings high-quality startups and seasoned investors into the same room for honest feedback, meaningful discussions, and real connection-building within the Warsaw startup ecosystem.

At the heart of the evening is a curated pitching session featuring 10 carefully selected early-stage startups, each presenting their ideas, products, and ambitions to an audience of 10 early-stage investors. Rather than focusing purely on spectacle, Imaguru’s Demo Day emphasizes substance: practical insights, constructive critique, and conversations that help teams better understand where they stand—and what comes next.

What to Expect

The agenda centers on pre-selected startup pitches, followed by thoughtful, expert-led feedback from an international investor panel. Founders can expect questions that go beyond surface-level metrics, touching on product-market fit, scalability, fundraising readiness, and strategic clarity. For attendees, the event offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at how investors think and evaluate early-stage ventures in real time.

Beyond the pitches, the gathering is designed as a networking-focused evening. Founders, investors, mentors, and community members will have the opportunity to connect informally, exchange perspectives, and close the year with new relationships and renewed inspiration.
