Come celebrate and learn more about the student entrepreneurs at San Francisco State, and experience demonstrations and exhibits of their innovations, products and services. Our student entrepreneurs come from all majors and it's taken a lot of dedication and persistence for them rise above the noise and clutter of their respective industries.
Demo Day is about meeting the entrepreneurs, interacting with demonstrations of their actual products and services, and supporting them in the next phases of their businesses. You will also have the chance to network and miggle with other, like-minded entrepreneurial-focused students, alumni, faculty and staff.
These are successful student entrepreneurs that have demonstrated traction - Keynote founders have already generated revenue, and innovators have launed prototypes and MVPs. Please come support their success, learn about their products and services, and open your networks to help accelerate their businesses. Go Gators!

About the Startups - Keynotes
MoldiBlocks is a low-cost, reusable silicone mold system for creating tissue microarray (TMA) recipient blocks. It is built for paraffin embedding, enabling labs to produce consistent blocks while maintaining flexibility in layout and experimental design.
The system focuses on reliability and ease of use, supporting manual and semi-manual TMA workflows and improving consistency during block preparation. Its low cost makes it practical for labs to test and use multiple layouts and configurations, rather than being limited to a single fixed setup. By lowering recurring consumable costs and improving usability, MoldiBlocks supports academic labs, core facilities, and research groups working within constrained budgets.
MoldiBlocks is founded by Keith Curry (CS and BIO '25) and James Nguyen (CS and BIO '26), incubated in the LFCoB I&E Initiative IncuGator, participated in UC Berkeley's Northwest Region NSF I-Corp program, and was subsequently accepted into the NSF Hub National I-Corp program in 2026.
