Demo Day

At the end of the NVD program, we presented to hundreds of investors — all direct connections of our two professors. I designed life-size cutouts of both professors wearing Spoddr merch, with our website QR embedded in every photo. Our stall was packed the entire event.

20k+LinkedIn impressions

QR in every photo taken at the stall. The cutout now lives in our professor's office at UBC Sauder — they loved it that much.
