As part of the SWITCH 2025 side events lineup, the Demo Day and Networking Night is designed to put ambitious startups directly in front of active investors and strategic growth partners. Co-hosted by 8 Circle, Microsoft, and Deel in a dynamic and social setting at Microsoft Office Singapore, the event delivers high-impact visibility and a unique chance for founders to connect with the region’s most influential investors, opening doors to funding, partnerships, and rapid expansion across Southeast Asia.

The program features high-growth startups pitching to a panel of seasoned investors and judges, followed by interactive Q&A and 1-on-1 networking sessions. More than just a pitch, the evening creates a platform for meaningful engagement with top VCs, angels, and growth partners, enabling direct feedback, stronger connections, and the exploration of strategic collaborations that can accelerate your journey.

Startups also gain exclusive perks and support packages from 8 Circle partners, ensuring that every participant walks away not only with increased visibility but also with tangible resources and growth enablers to scale successfully in Singapore and beyond.
