Pride Pitch
2026-08-27 16:00 - 18:00 (America/Toronto) | ON
ICUBE, The University of Toronto, and The City of Mississauga are proud to announce the seventh year of the Pride Pitch event, which is open to all students, staff, and faculty from all three campuses of the university, as well as members of the community (Peel Region), and community members of QueerTech . The competition offers a total of $10,000 in cash prizes to recognize, reward, and accelerate the growth of 2SLGBTQ+ (Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, and others) entrepreneurs.
Individuals or teams who are interested in participating in the competition will have the opportunity to showcase their ideas through a five-minute pitch to a panel of judges (poster-presentation style). The judges will evaluate the ideas and determine the winners based on various criteria, including originality, feasibility, impact, and potential for success.
The goal of the PRIDE Pitch is to provide support and resources for 2SLGBTQ+ entrepreneurs, and to help them succeed in their ventures.
