X Co, the Reno-based tech accelerator formerly known solely as RNOX, will host its second annual Demo Day this week, introducing leaders from four innovative and rapidly growing startups to potential investors. The June 10 event, available in-person and virtually, will feature live pitches from these startups, according to a June 1 press release:
Alliance Forge, a provider of voter-relationship management platform services and software.
PersonaFi, developer of a personal investment app enhanced with social-networking features.
Bookit Sports, creator of a platform that consolidates information for sports gaming along with social-networking features.
Copper Inc., developer of point-of-sale systems for the restaurant industry.
Teams from Alliance Forge and PersonaFi have been working in the X Co Rapid Entrepreneurial Accelerated Launch program — “REAL,” for short — since earlier this year, according to a June 1 press release. “We are very proud of the progress they are making, and are thrilled to introduce them to investors,” Shaunt M. Sarkissian, founder and executive chairman of X Co, said in a statement.
Bookit Sports and Copper Inc. are recent alumni of the 16-week REAL program.
Registration information for the June 10 event is available here. According to the event, two other startups — Vistro Bistro and Socrates — are also scheduled to present.
For those attending in-person, the event will be held at X Co headquarters at 10615 Professional Circle in Reno from 1-5 p.m. Admission is free, but tickets must be reserved in advance.
