At the first demo day hosted by Matter, the media startup accelerator backed by KQED, the Knight Foundation, and PRX, six media startups yesterday made their case to a standing-room-only crowd of investors and digital media executives for capital, highlighting how their ventures can help build a more informed, connected, and empowered society.
In advance of the event, PKPR secured an exclusive sneak preview of Matter’s first class in the Wall Street Journal, as well as post-Demo Day reports in AllThingD, Mashable, GigaOm, PandoDaily, Xconomy, and Current.
