The Winter23 Demo Day cohort is here, and they are going to make our lives 100x better. They are running through brick walls to tackle the thorniest problems frustrating industries world-wide. From AI-powered recruitment and misdiagnosed prenatal ultrasounds to inflatable space solar panels and vaccine nebulisers, the Winter23 cohort is one of our most innovative yet.

This cohort is ending online abuse, rethinking firefighting to make it safer and more effective, and building novel ways to support mothers post-childbirth.

They’re creating a new thermal heating and cooling system to halve energy costs and emissions, catching bugs before your users do, enabling digital health companies to expand globally, and using human avatars for live interviews to power recruitment.

It’s rare that you meet a founder whose ambition and drive take your breath away; meeting 28 of them at once is all but guaranteed to leave you breathless.
