Winter 2022: Concept $5K Pitch Winners
The sun is starting to come out and Concept students are shining brighter than ever. This term, 22 teams pitched at the Concept $5k Semi-Finals, 8 made it to the finals to pitch again, and 4 teams were awarded the prize of $5,000 on March 31, 2022.
We would like to give a huge thanks to our panel of judges for taking the time to support the students at the Concept $5k Finals. Jeremy Hedges (CEO of InkSmith & The Canadian Shield), Pulkit Arora (Founder & CEO of Dabadu, Inc.), and Dhanusha Sathiyaseelan (Associate at the University of Waterloo Student Venture Fund). Not only did they provide their expert advice and feedback to all teams, but also made the difficult decision of picking the winners of the Winter 2022 $5k Pitch Competition.
