START-UP WIL is a start-up pitch competition which will be taking place as part of The Venture Creation Course BUSI4999U. Students will work on their ventures with the supporting faculty over the course of the semester. At the end of the term the students will present their start up ideas to address their new products in a post-COVID environment. The competition will enable students to develop skills in communication, creativity, critical thinking and apply the principles of business being taught in the classroom.

As part of the competition each student will receive a $250 stipend for submitting a business plan and go-to-market strategy. Our panel of industry judges provided by Riipen will be selecting the top student team and those students will receive a $5,000 fund to launch their new venture.

Students are to put together a final pitch about their product and business process which will include:

• Summary Presentation of end of semester outcome 25% At the end of the semester each team will be required to complete either a presentation or paper outlining their outcomes base on the plan set out at the beginning of the semester.
• The ideal presentation will be a video recording of you and your team members reviewing the components of the Lean Canvas as well as the progress you have made on your product or service over the semester; including your challenges and successes.
