Seed Bootcamp, Batch 5

500 Global and ITIDA closed the fifth batch of their Seed Bootcamp in Egypt with an afternoon of rapid-fire investor meetings and an evening showcase: founders pitching on stage, certificates, and one last class photo.

Demo days and startup events

Two formats in one venue: short one-to-one meetings between founders and investors in the afternoon, then a stage, an audience and a ceremony after dark.

The same garden had to work for both.

Drawn, then built

High tables spread through the garden, each investor’s name on their table and the programme’s branding on every one, so a founder could find the right person in seconds. The lit 500 letters gave the evening its photo spot.

The build

The afternoon ran on a meeting schedule, table to table. After dark the garden turned toward the stage for the showcase: the opening, a pitch from each startup, certificates, and the class photo at the end.
