About this event
The Liftoff! Pitch Competition, presented by the Hunter Hub for Entrepreneurial Thinking in partnership with the Schulich School of Engineering, represents the culmination of 6 months of learning and venture development completed by a diverse group of students from across UCalgary who are enrolled in this year’s Launchpad program. Teams that have demonstrated exceptional creativity and dedication to developing their entrepreneurial venture will be pitching their venture concepts live to a panel of judges for a chance to win a first-place prize of $5,000.
Liftoff! is a unique milestone in these students’ journeys that celebrates their commitment to further developing their innovative ideas.
Our esteemed panel of judges includes Derrick Hunter, Dr. Jim Dewald, Kari Gordon, Dr. Jaime Kaufman, Brad Parry, and Dr. John Wilson.
