The Annual RBC EPIC Founders Final Pitch Competition is going Virtual

August 4, 2020in Tech News 0 Comments

Seven startups will compete in the 2020 RBC EPIC Founders Final Pitch Competition on Thursday, August 6th. This is the first time that the annual event will be held on a completely virtual platform due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  

The RBC EPIC Founders Program gives students and recent graduates the opportunity to work on their own startup full-time from May to July. In addition to receiving a stipend, founders get to work with mentors to validate their business model and develop a minimum viable product. The program is funded by the RBC Foundation.  

“As an entrepreneurship centre, our startups normally have the opportunity to complete the 12-week accelerator program in a collaborative and open-concept environment at the EPICentre, one which fosters innovation and creativity” said EPICentre Director Wen Teoh “This year, our startups faced the challenge of completing the program on a completely virtual platform. With the guidance of our EPIC Program Lead, Sydney Thompson, we were able to provide our founders with a modified experience that still kept them engaged and excited”. 

The RBC EPIC Founders Final Pitch Day is the culmination of the program, where participants will be pitching their businesses to a panel of judges. The winning pitch will receive the $3,500 Top Founder Award sponsored by the RBC Foundation. Runner-up will receive $1,000 sponsored by the Lucas Imagine Fund. The event will be live-streamed via the EPICentre Facebook page (@epicentre.uwindsor) on Thursday, August 6th, 2020 3:00 pm – 5:30 pm.
