We were there for all the action at Thursday’s Montreal Demo Day, when 21 startups from four Montreal-based accelerator programs pitched to a packed house at Quai Jacques-Cartier.

Teams from InnoCité MTL, District 3, TandemLaunch, Founder Institute and Centech all gave short spiels about what their technology does and how they can grow.

Along with some photos produced by our friend Eva Blue, here’s some of the best social media reaction and photos from the big day:
