Dentalcorp Launches First Annual Dental Technology Demo Day Offers US$100,000 in Investment and Feasibility Test Opportunity

ORLANDO, Fla. – Dentalcorp, one of the largest dental support organizations in North America, today announced its Demo Day, a live dental technology competition taking place on June 24 at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. The event will award a US$100,000 SAFE investment and a potential testing opportunity to a successful company, with access to a network of more than 600 practices serving 5.7 million patients annually.

Applications are open now until May 15th. Up to 10 finalists will be selected on May 22 and invited to deliver live technical demonstrations in front of a panel of expert judges and an audience of dental industry executives, investors, and employees.

Demo Day bridges the gap between promising dental technology and real-world clinical deployment, addressing a challenge that has historically limited innovation throughout the dental industry. Rather than a traditional competition, winners will demonstrate their technology in action, answer questions from a panel of judges, and compete for a prize package designed for clinical access and long-term growth, not just money.

Relevant technologies include dental AI diagnostics, computer vision, imaging technology, workflow automation, predictive analytics, patient engagement, and practice management solutions. Companies in the prototype, beta, or market-ready stage are all encouraged to apply.

The winning company will receive:

• $100,000 SAFE (Simple Equity Futures Agreement) investment
• Clinical trial opportunity throughout Dentalcorp’s North American practice network
• Strategic consulting from Dentalcorp’s leadership and technology teams
• Appearances before dental industry executives and investors attending the event

All finalists will receive a $2,000 travel grant and live demo exposure to a select professional audience.

Proposals will be evaluated by a panel of dental industry leaders and technology investors, including:

• Nate TchapliaPresident, Dentalcorp
• Dr. Amarjit RihalClinical Director of Operations, Dentalcorp
• Kentucky MorrowPartner, Dental Innovation Alliance (DIA)
• Dr. Ryan Hungate, Chief Clinical and Strategic Officer, Henry Schein One
• Dr. Zarah AliDirector of Strategy and Growth, VideaHealth

Judges will evaluate submissions on clinical value, workflow integration, economic profitability of dental practices, marketing potential, and strategic alignment with Dentalcorp’s vision for sustainable dentistry.

Applications are submitted through the official Demo Day website at frictionlessdentistry.com. There is no application fee. Each applicant is limited to one post. Winners must be ready to deliver a live technology demonstration at the Orlando event on June 24, 2026.
