You built the software. Now let a room watch it run.

A one-day live demo day where ten founders show their tools working, thirty minutes each, on a real screen with no slides.

You sell your own product live, on your own checkout, and keep every dollar. Your tool also gets a full entry in the buyer's guide every registrant takes home.

What this is

Not a bundle. A demo day.

Nobody needs another pile of products they will not open. What people actually want before they buy a tool is to watch it work.

Ten operators, thirty minutes each, live. Same four beats every time: here is the problem, here is the thing running, here is where to get it, and then questions from the room. There are no slides and no pre-recorded walkthroughs, just a live screen with a timer on it and a hard stop at the end.

You sell during your slot, on your own checkout, and there is no shared cart and no revenue split on your product. The date is deliberate too, because November 9 puts your tool in front of a room of buyers about two and a half weeks before Black Friday, so the people who don't buy on the day still know your product exists when your holiday offer lands.

Who we're featuring

Operators with real software they built and sell, with a login their users sign into. Not a course about a tool, not a template, and not a walkthrough of somebody else's app. You own the product and you own the checkout. If it only works in a recording, or you need slides to explain it, this is not the format.

The run of show

Two blocks. Five demos each.

Thirty minutes, four beats, hard stop. The constraint is the format.

BLOCK 110am ETLive

Five demos

  • Thirty minutes each, back to back, timer on screen
  • Your last few minutes are questions from the room
  • Your checkout link goes live in the chat during your slot
  • Destini opens the block and closes it
LUNCH12:30pm ET

  • Links from block one stay pinned
BLOCK 21pm ETLive

  • Wrap and the buyer's guide handoff by 3:30pm ET
YOUR THIRTYThe format

Four beats, nothing else

  • Minutes 1-5 — the problem, in your audience's words
  • Minutes 6-21 — the thing running, live, on your screen
  • Minutes 22-25 — what it costs and where to get it
  • Minutes 26-30 — questions from the room
What you get

Four things on your side of the trade.

I

Your list grows, and you keep every name

Attendees claim your free gift from your own landing page. They opt in on your form. No exports, no gated leads, no waiting.

II

A permanent entry in the buyer's guide

Every registrant gets a guide covering all ten tools, including what yours does, who it's for, what it costs, what it replaces, and where to buy it. It keeps working long after the event is over.

III

A curated lineup, not a crowded one

No fifty-contributor rosters where everyone disappears. Fewer slots means more visibility per person.

IV

We run the event, you show up

You get plug-and-play email copy, social graphics, and your affiliate link. No funnel to build, no tech to wrangle.

Before you apply

We're selective, and we'd rather say so up front.

You're a strong fit if…

  • You built and sell real software with a login your users sign into
  • You can run it cold on screen in twenty-five minutes and take questions after
  • You own the checkout and handle your own sales
  • You can give us an affiliate link for your product
  • You'll email your list once before the event

We're probably not a fit if…

  • You'd be demoing software somebody else owns
  • What you sell is a course, template, or workflow rather than an app
  • You can't offer an affiliate link on your product
  • You'd need slides to explain what it does
  • You can't be live on November 9
  • You'd rather not email your list about it
The dates that matter

Three deadlines. That's the whole calendar.

Dr. Destini Copp
Founder, Creator's MBA & HobbyScool

I'm a digital product strategist, MBA professor, and the founder of Creator's MBA, a brand built around helping digital entrepreneurs build predictable, recurring revenue without chasing algorithms or grinding through launches.

I've been running virtual events for years — close to fifty of them across Creator's MBA and HobbyScool — and twelve more are on the 2027 calendar. I've been on the other side of the application, so these run the way I'd want one run: clear deadlines, real promotion, and you keep what you earn.

Before you ask

The questions contributors actually ask.

What counts as a tool?

Software you built and sell, with a login your users sign into. Courses, templates, swipe files, and systems built on top of somebody else's software don't work here, because there's nothing for the room to watch run.

Do I keep what I sell?

All of it. You sell on your own checkout during your slot. There is no shared cart and we take nothing from your product sales.

So how does this work for you?

One way. Every contributor gives us an affiliate link for their product, and we earn on what the room buys through the buyer's guide. That's the whole model, which is why the affiliate link is a condition of the slot.

Can I pre-record my demo?

No. The whole event is live, and the reason people show up is to watch a real screen in real time.

Is any of this paid?

No. The event is free to attend, and everyone who registers gets the buyer's guide covering all ten tools.

Do I have to pay to contribute?

No, and there's no fee at any point. You sell your own product during your slot and keep everything you make.

Do I keep the subscribers?

Yes, and directly. Attendees go to your landing page to claim your free gift, so they opt in on your form and land on your list. We never gate your leads.

What if I don't hear back right away?

It usually means your tool didn't fit the lineup we were building at that moment. Your application stays on file and we search it every time we plan a new event.

What kind of tools are you looking for?

There's no fixed list. If you built software people sign into and pay for, and it does something the room can watch happen in real time, it's worth applying. The strongest applications are usually tools we hadn't heard of yet.
