​StartupCampWaterloo - Socratica Long Weekend Edition

​We are opening up Builders Club for a one hour version of StartupCampWaterloo for anyone who wants to practice their pitch before all that networking this weekend. Spectators are welcome!

This is a no sponsor (unless you want to pay for pizza), no exclusive selection process (besides your peers at the event), and no BS.

Just show up. Get your name on the whiteboard. LFG!

​What is StartupCampWaterloo?

​StartupCampWaterloo is Waterloo’s low-stakes, high-trust pitch room. Whether you’re testing a wild new startup idea, refining your story before talking to investors, or simply sharing your vision with the community — this is your place.

​Come tell us:

• ​What you’re building

• ​Why it matters

• ​Who it’s for

• ​What you need next

​You don’t need perfect slides. You don’t need revenue. You don’t even need a product. You need a story.

​The Format

• ​6:45 pm — Doors open, networking

• ​7:00 pm — Kickoff & opening remarks

• ​7:05 pm - 1 min pitches + voting

• ​7:30pm — top 3 Pitches (5 min pitch, 5 min Q&A & feedback)

• ​8:00pm — Wrap-up & social

​No judging. No prizes. No investors to impress. Just founders helping founders.

​Who Should Pitch?

• ​First-time founders

• ​Ambitious students

• ​Technical co-founders figuring out their market

• ​Founders preparing for accelerators or pre-seed

• ​Builders looking for co-founders, collaborators, or early feedback

​Why StartupCampWaterloo?

​Waterloo needs rooms where ambitious people can practice telling the story of what they’re building — without waiting for permission, funding, or perfect polish. StartupCampWaterloo helps founders clarify their thinking early, while surrounded by people who have done it before — or are doing it alongside you.

​Build your startup in public, before you get “on stage.”
