STARTUP SURVIVOR: THE PITCH COMPETITION
Startup Survivor is a 4-month Accelerator and Pitch Competition awarding $80,000 to McMaster University students and alumni with the best business ideas. The program runs annually throughout the Summer Term. We began in May with 10 startups and 35 competitors – Students and Alumni from all levels: Undergraduate, Masters, PhD.
To support the growth of these startups, McMaster and The Forge awarded $50,000 to the 10 teams while mentoring them through intense business and technical challenges. Finalists will deliver a 5-minute pitch to the audience and esteemed judging panel. After deliberations, we’ll crown our winners and award the remaining $30,000 in our prize pool!
