NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Every morning entrepreneur Hajj Flemings wakes up and heads to his favorite coffee shop in downtown Mountain View, Calif., to prep for one of the most important presentations of his career.
On Thursday, the 39-year old Detroit native will have six minutes to present his fledgling startup venture to a roster of Silicon Valley's top investment firms, including SV Angel, Bessemer Venture Partners, Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) Ventures and Sequoia, to name just a few.
Since June, Flemings and seven other entrepreneurs have been living and working together in a house in tech hub Mountain View as part of the NewMe Accelerator, a pioneering incubator for minority-led startups.
The entrepreneurs have spent the summer coding, designing, and meeting with seasoned tech mentors for feedback as they prepare to present their companies to the Valley's leading investors. Demo Day marks the finish line for their two-month startup sprint.
