RBC EPIC Founders Final Pitch Competition

The RBC EPIC Founders Program is an intensive 12-week startup accelerator program for students and recent graduates who want to turn their ideas into businesses. This program provides multifaceted workshops, virtual learning opportunities and training, as well as 1:1 mentorship and advisory services. The 2021 Founders Program welcomed 7 startups to this year’s cohort of entrepreneurs, representing 4 of the 7 faculties of the University of Windsor. This cohort also included students and graduates from St. Clair College and Wilfrid Laurier University.

Join us on Thursday, August 19th for the culmination of the program with our Founders Final Pitch Competition.
