The Workshop's Hardware Demo Day

This is where hardware gets made. Join Whipsaw and Cristina Apple Georgoulakis for an invite-only Demo Day featuring founders from The Workshop and the broader Whipsaw ecosystem. Whipsaw is a product design and engineering studio with 325+ design awards and 25+ years bringing products to life for Google, Nike, Samsung, Tonal, Aescape, and more. Through The Workshop, we work hands-on with early-stage founders — taking them from early idea through strategy, brand, product design, and investor readiness. Cristina is a former Partner at Seven Seven Six where she backed 200+ companies from pre-seed to growth. She also advises Workshop founders on building and positioning hardware companies for market.
