The YC Demo Day is a private gathering. From descriptions I've read,
it's essentially just the founders of the given batch and "accredited
investors" (in US legal parlance, I believe "accredited investor" means
having a net worth greater than 1 million or a yearly income in excess
of 250K, but I'm not a lawyer so I might be wrong). On past Demo Days,
at least there was one, trusted, member of the "press" from techcrunch
at the event. One of the problems with Demo Day is not all of the
companies are publicly announced when it happens and they want to keep
working in "stealth mode" while raising capital. Said trusted person
from the press is told which companies they can and can't write about.
Though the world could probably learn a lot from videos of the pitches
on Demo Day, I sincerely doubt they will ever be released to the public.
