Applications are open for 10X Founders Demo Day v2.0, organized by Inspira Labs, Yellow and Cicada, with Sonic joining as Anchor Partner.
The online Demo Day will take place on August 25, 2026, with applications closing on August 20. Eight selected startups will pitch live to a panel of active investors, with each team receiving feedback from the full judging panel.
The program offers a $150,000+ reward pool combining grants, market-making support, advisory, audits, infrastructure, API access, media, and growth services. Cicada, Inspira Labs and Yellow together contribute $60,000 in market making, advisory, acceleration and go-to-market support.
The judging panel includes representatives from Animoca Brands, Contribution Capital, Comma3 Ventures, Fenbushi Capital, Funders VC, Zee Prime Capital, Dracoon Ventures and Moonhill Capital. Every finalist is evaluated by the full panel and receives written feedback.
The first edition of 10X Founders attracted more than 150 applications, selected 12 teams for the stage, and was watched live by more than 7,000 people. For v2.0, the format has been narrowed to eight finalists while expanding the partner and reward structure.
The program is aimed at founders with a working product or early traction who are planning a token launch within the next three to six months.
