About this Event

Due to the current Covid-19 situation and ever-changing conditions, we have decided to move our Demo Day ONLINE . UCSD Rady School of Management continues to prioritize the health and wellness of our community members, students, and staff amid the national health emergency associated with novel Coronavirus.

The StartR accelerator is a highly competitive program that includes several tracks targeting specific areas of interest: Inclusion, Impact, and Rady MBA. This event is an opportunity for some of the top teams from each track to present their pitch to the Rady School of Management and San Diego entrepreneurial communities.
