About Startup Survivor: The Pitch Competition


Startup Survivor is a four-month accelerator and pitch competition awarding $95,000 to McMaster University students and alumni with the best business ideas. The program takes place annually throughout the summer term. We began in May with 10 startups and 35 competitors – students and alumni from all levels: undergraduate, master’s, PhD.


To support the growth of these startups, McMaster and The Forge awarded $65,000 to the 10 teams while mentoring them through intense business and technical challenges. Finalists will deliver a five-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!
