We are about halfway through the DEMO Tour, on our search for enterprise startups and products solving big problems. After our trip to Boston tomorrow hosted at Highland Capital Partners, we are heading back to California for two days. February 11th we will be at IDG Ventures in San Francisco and at August Capital in Silicon Valley on February 12th. Then we will round out the Tour in NYC at FirstMark Capital on February 20th. Apply here.

Enterprise founders can apply here for a private one-on-one meeting with the DEMO team and a venture partner. The DEMO Tour is our scouting mission for DEMO Enterprise. It is our way of engaging with the startup community in between DEMO events, but it is also one of the main ways we find our finalists for DEMO. We give founders some honest feedback on their products, and founders get to pitch us and some partners in an informal, but confidential setting. A spot on the Tour automatically enters startups for consideration to DEMO Enterprise in San Francisco on April 3, 2014.

We define enterprise broadly to include any company selling to a business instead of directly to a consumer. But some areas of particular interest include SaaS/cloud services moving into new industries, mobile enterprise, big data, 3D printing, drones , robotics, and bitcoin.
