Demo Day LA - August 2026

Demo Day LA is Nerdstage’s recurring Venice night for startup demos, on-stage pitches, investor fireside conversation, and post-program networking. Prior investor guests have included operators tied to Science Inc. and OpenSky Ventures. Startup Demo tickets - demo table, coaching, on-stage slot - are limited and can sell out; general admission is the audience path. BLANKSPACES on Venice Boulevard sits on the Silicon Beach founder map, the same Westside strip as AI Tinkerers the week before.

Thursday, August 13, 2026, starting 4:30 PM PT at BLANKSPACES Venice, 606 Venice Boulevard. Ticket types and pricing live on Luma: Super Early, General Admission, and Startup Demo. Nerdstage’s Demo Day series page is the backup context. Confirm current availability before you plan around a demo slot.

Founders chasing a pitch slot should treat Startup Demo inventory as scarce. Audience attendees still need a ticket; walk-up assumptions are unsafe for a ticketed program night. The room is a structured founder-investor format with a named LA series host - useful if you want demos and a fireside. Same day as DPP’s Production Now in Beverly Hills and Irvine Chamber’s Ideation to Action workshop; those are different graphs. Nerdstage’s series page is backup context if Luma inventory is unclear. Super Early is the cheapest audience path when it is still open; Startup Demo is the only path with a table, coaching, and an on-stage slot. Audience attendees still need a ticket; walk-up assumptions are unsafe for a ticketed Venice program night. Re-check Luma the day before.

Go if you want a Venice founder-investor night with a clear ticket path. Grab Startup Demo early if you need the table and on-stage slot; otherwise RSVP general admission on Luma and re-check availability the day before.
