Education

Introduction

Welcome to the Alchemist Class XXXVII Demo Day! We are excited to have each of you here and appreciate your valuable time. A huge thanks to our sponsors: AWS, Carta, Mercury, Microsoft for Startups, Morrison & Foerster, Notion, and WilmerHale. With over 25 companies to showcase across Class XXXVII and select alumni, we’re eager to dive into today’s presentations.

Connection to Transformation

Alchemist, the namesake of the renowned book "The Alchemist," embodies the belief that when you desire something deeply, the universe aligns to make it happen. This philosophy underscores the transformative power of entrepreneurship, where founders convert intangible visions into tangible realities. Witnessing founders go through their own transformational journeys over the past 12 years has been a rewarding experience, and many of our coaches and mentors are alumni who are now guiding the next generation.

Alchemist by the Numbers

We are proud to report that more than 600 startups have passed through the Alchemist program, raising a total of approximately $ 3.9 billion, resulting in an average of $ 6 million per startup. The aggregate market valuation of these companies exceeds $ 10 billion, with around 10% achieving successful acquisitions. At Alchemist, we strive for more than just exits; we aim for our ventures to be enduring, mission-driven enterprises.

In the last 12 months, we received over 2,500 applications for our program, with an admission rate hovering just above 3%. This competitive selection process ensures that the companies we admit are among the best, forming a unique support network for both current and future entrepreneurs.

Deepening In-Person Community

As part of our commitment to enhancing the community experience, we’re returning to more in-person interactions in San Francisco. Led by our new Program Director, Claire Rosenfeld—a distinguished graduate from Stanford—we aim to cultivate a vibrant community that bridges startups with corporates and other stakeholders.

Alchemist X: Innovation Driving Corporate Growth

We are excited to announce our collaboration with Daimler Truck, joining a diverse group of strategic partners contributing insights and resources to our accelerator program. Alchemist X focuses on driving enterprise innovation through various initiatives. This includes global market entry programs for international startups and bespoke corporate innovation offerings that help facilitate valuable partnerships between startups and enterprises.

Our programs have established fruitful collaborations with governments and corporations to streamline innovation. With a robust network of stakeholders, our programs create valuable channels for startups to succeed.

Connection Mechanics

Today's Demo Day offers an opportunity to connect with the founders presenting their startups. To facilitate this, we have introduced a feature called "Connect"—a direct line to reach out to founders—as well as a "Reserve" option for high-conviction investors to express their interest in specific startups.
