TechCrunch tuned into
500 Startups
‘ 27th demo day today, keen to get our eyes on the accelerator’s latest companies.
Demo days are regular affairs, but they always feature a crop of startups that could build the next tech giant, so we pay attention. Especially in the COVID-19 era, when demo days have gone virtual. Now it’s easier than ever for investors, and journalists, to tune in.
TechCrunch has
covered Y Combinator’s
virtual demo days
, as well as regular batches
from the various Techstars accelerators around the world
.
But, today we’re talking favorites from 500 Startups’ latest cohort.
Jonathan Shieber
will take the baton first, followed by Alex Wilhelm

Demo day standouts
Stack
-
What: A new way to browse online.
-
Why we like it: The browser and tab model hasn’t changed much since the days of Netscape and organizing online information is increasingly a complicated mess of a hundred tabs (at least on my browser). Stack is pitching a new way to organize information that’s more interactive, more organized and easier to visualize.
Adapty
-
**What: **Low-code A/B testing of monetization mechanics and subscriber services for apps.
-
Why we like it: Helping to give app developers tools to better understand where, how and why monetization breaks down and offer tools to fix it makes Adapty a standout among this YC cohort. The app economy is still a multibillion dollar business and getting customers to stick around remains a huge problem. Anything that can help is a boon for company builders.
