TechAlliance’s Polaris Pitch Competition & Innovation Showcase returns, shining a spotlight on the region’s visionaries, disruptors, and founders building the future of Canadian technology.
Six finalists will compete at London Music Hall, and two winners will walk away with major prizes: first place receives $10,000 and second place earns $5,000 in non-dilutive funding and both winners will take away in-kind services valued at $6,700, including 1:1 growth coaching for founder and company development, and services designed for early-stage startups.
We are so excited to have Michele Romanow, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Clearco attend as our keynote speaker. Michelle is a serial founder, global investor, the youngest Dragon to join CBC’s Dragons’ Den, and a champion for ambitious innovators.
Michele has invested more than 3.2 billion dollars, backed 25 times more women founders than the venture capital industry, and built a reputation for spotting ideas that are ready to scale.
Michele joins Polaris at a time when founders in our region are scaling faster, raising smarter, gaining greater visibility, and entering new markets.
More than a competition, Polaris Pitch Competition & Innovation Showcase is a celebration, a gathering of founders, investors, industry leaders and ecosystem partners making powerful connections, while showcasing emerging technologies scaling in the greater London region.
