The time to learn and pitch to win is here!
We are proud to present the Launch Point Pitch Competition for the first time ever as a collaborative initiative and contest in SW Alberta! Through partnership between Community Futures Lethbridge Region and The University of Lethbridge, the Launch Point Pitch Competition features 2 streams in which participants can join and pitch their business or idea for a chance to win the $2000.00 1st place prize for each! There are also 2nd and 3rd place cash prizes available in each stream as well as a Fan Favourite opportunity!
Take the steps to get organized, learn the art of pitching, and upgrade your presentation skills while spreading the word as you compete against yourself and others.
The Regional Innovation Network of Southern Alberta (RINSA) is a presenting sponsor and there is training available through 1:1 advisory appointments and workshop engagements along the way. As a Community Stream participant, you will have the options of taking part in RINSA’s supports while also having a choice during the lead-up for the Trailblazing experience through Agility at the U of L.
