Demo categories
Ready to put your technology in front of the Finovate audience? Here are the category and eligibility requirements to note when applying:
Demo categories
Your demo category is determined by whichever monetary value places your company in the higher category: total equity funding raised or annual revenue.
- A: Less than $7M raised and less than $2M in annual revenue
- B: $7M–$15.99M raised or $2M–$4.99M in annual revenue
- C: $16M–$24.99M raised or $5M–$9.99M in annual revenue
- D: $25M–$39.99M raised or $10M–$24.99M in annual revenue
- E: $40M+ raised, $25M+ in annual revenue, or publicly listed on any stock exchange
For example: A company with $4M in funding and $12M in annual revenue would be classified as Category D.
Notes on category eligibility
- Annual revenue means the company’s most recent twelve months of recognized revenue earned and recorded. If twelve months of revenue are not available, use the most recently completed fiscal or calendar year or revenue earned to date for companies with less than twelve months of history. ARR, projections, targets, and future contracted revenue are excluded.
- All funding and revenue information provided should reflect the company’s financial position as of the date the demo application is submitted.
- Finovate reserves the right to verify any funding or revenue information provided and to determine the appropriate demo category. Finovate’s determination is final.
- If you are in categories C, D, or E and prefer a screening phone call instead of submitting the application, please reach out to demo@finovate.com.
We understand funding and revenue information can be sensitive. However, this information is required for all applicants so that we can consistently determine company category and demo pricing. We cannot proceed with evaluating a demo application without it. If needed, Finovate is happy to sign an NDA or other appropriate confidentiality agreement.
