Connecting founders, funders, and supporters to fast-track impactful growth

 
 

We’re thrilled to announce that The Odlum Brown Forum Pitch Semi-Final is coming back to Vancouver. 

But this time, we’re doing things differently! 

Together, we’ll watch some of Canada’s most promising entrepreneurs share their business visions. Then, we’ll directly invite our nationwide network of entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals to get involved and support their growth.

That means that after you’ve heard pitches from 10 incredible entrepreneurs, you’ll be able to connect with them on potential investment opportunities, partnerships, and collaborations.
