A note from the Director of Bronco Ventures
Welcome to Demo Day!
On behalf of Santa Clara University and the Ciocca Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our seventh annual Bronco Ventures Demo Day.
The Bronco Ventures Accelerator (BVA) was created to provide Santa Clara founders—students, alumni, faculty, and staff—with guidance, mentorship, and resources to transform promising business ideas into thriving ventures. Over the past four months, our BVA7 cohort of over 30 early-stage startups has worked to refine business models, validate products with customers, build partnerships, and develop presentation skills. Now we've selected some of our founders to share their stories with you.
Bronco Ventures also includes programs such as our quarterly Idea Lab, for founders at the earliest stage of company formation, our spring Accelerator Prep School, which equips early stage ventures with the tools needed to enter the BVA or other accelerator programs, and a monthly open meetup of our entrepreneurship community called BVA Cafe.
We are grateful for the many mentors, advisors, investors, and sponsors whose expertise and support make this work possible. Your investments of time and capital strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem at Santa Clara and empower the next generation of founders to pursue bold ideas with purpose and integrity.
Thank you for joining us today!
Warm regards,
Morgan Slain
Founder and Director, Bronco Ventures
