Paper report entitled "Business Plan"Contest invites young entrepreneurs to hone skills, win prizes

Start-up founders to pitch business ideas

Young entrepreneurs eager to start new businesses in Windsor will showcase their ideas on campus Wednesday. Participants in EPIC Founders, a program of the Entrepreneurship Practice and Innovation Centre, will compete for a cash prize during its second annual Pitch Day.

Eleven UWindsor students and recent grads have spent the summer working with mentors to ready their product or service for market. They will explain their business models to a panel of judges, who will select a winner to receive the $3,500 RBC Top Founder Award.

The public is invited to watch the presentations and tour a showcase of the various projects, August 10 from 2:30 to 6 p.m. in EPIC Innovation, on the second floor of the Joyce Entrepreneurship Centre at 2455 Wyandotte Street West.
