ONE Digital Tech Business Growth Programme 2024 – Showcase – Pitch Judge
Hosted by: ONE Digital Tech Business Growth Programme
Date: Wednesday, 21 May 2025
Location: ONE Tech Hub, Aberdeen
About the event
The Demo Day Showcase brings together the founders from this year’s cohort to present their progress, pitch their ventures, and share the outcomes of the programme. It’s a high-energy closing event where entrepreneurs reveal what they’ve built, what they’ve validated, and how they plan to scale.
Teams pitch to a panel of industry judges and strategic operators who offer feedback, challenge assumptions, and highlight opportunities for next-stage growth.
Sid’s role at the event
Sid Kathirvel was invited to join the judging panel, assessing each startup’s clarity, customer insight, positioning, traction, and strategic readiness. Sid provided direct feedback to founders on their pitches, messaging, market understanding, and go-to-market strategy — giving them the same customer-led, growth-driven lens he brings to the startups and scaleups he mentors across Scotland.
What the showcase represents
Demo Day marks the culmination of months of coaching, workshops, and deep work across strategy, customer discovery, and business development. It’s a celebration of the founders’ momentum and a launchpad for their next stage, often leading to investor conversations, partnerships, and pilot opportunities.
