October 15, 2026: Stitch and Scream w/ Mana Siyo
Halloween is three weeks out, and the best costume in the room never comes from a bag. Mana Siyo opens its studio and teaches you to make yours: real pattern, real fabric, real seams, built on your body. No sewing experience needed.
October 22, 2026: Pitching Your Startup w/ Peter Liu of The Pitch
Join Humanmade for a Founder Session with Peter Liu, Venture Partner at The Pitch, the podcast where founders pitch their startups to investors for real funding. Peter helps source and evaluate companies for the show, bringing a firsthand perspective on how founders introduce their businesses and navigate investor questions.
November 12, 2026: Humanmade Hardware Accelerator Demo Day
Join us as the 2026 Humanmade Hardware Accelerator cohort takes the stage to showcase six months of building, testing, and refining their companies.
Over the past 24 weeks, these founders have worked through every stage of early hardware development—from defining the right problem to solving, to building prototypes, testing with real users, refining their designs, planning for manufacturing, and preparing for investment. Demo Day is where that work comes together.
Each team will present their company, share what they’ve learned throughout the program, and demonstrate the products they’ve been building. After the presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to meet the founders, see prototypes up close, ask questions, and connect with fellow entrepreneurs, investors, engineers, manufacturers, and members of the Bay Area startup community.
