Starburst ICDA Demo Day

Join Starburst for the inaugural Demo Day of the ICDA accelerator, showcasing the leading aerospace, defense (dual-use), and space startups building in the San Antonio to Austin Innovation Corridor.

Over the past several months, these eight companies have worked alongside Starburst and its network of investors, primes, and government partners to sharpen their technology, refine their go-to-market strategies, and accelerate their path into the defense and aerospace markets.

The ICDA program is helping build the region between San Antonio and Austin into a nationally distinctive ecosystem for aerospace, defense, and space innovation, and Demo Day is the capstone: each startup will take the stage to pitch its technology, traction, and vision to an audience of investors, industry leaders, government stakeholders, and the broader ecosystem.
