Schulich Startup Night 21
The most anticipated night in Schulich entrepreneurship returns 🚀
Entrepreneurs, investors, builders, and game-changers—Toronto’s premier pitch event is back.
On June 10, the ecosystem converges. Schulich Startup Night (SSN-21) returns for its 21st edition, bringing together a curated room of venture capitalists, industry titans, and the most ambitious entrepreneurs from the Schulich School of Business and York University.
This isn’t just a pitch competition—it’s the ultimate proving ground. After a decade of launching companies that have raised over $70M+, we are opening our doors for one night to witness the next wave of "Rising Stars" and "Alumni Champions" take the stage.
Be there. Be inspired. Be part of the movement. 🚀🔥
THE EXPERIENCE
🎤 The Arena: Watch Schulich’s top student and alumni founders take the stage to pitch their startups to a panel of expert judges.
⚖️ The Interrogation: Industry veterans, venture capitalists, and seasoned entrepreneurs decide who takes home the grand prize.
💰 The Prize Pool: Over $70,000+ in cash and professional "Launch Kits" (Legal, Accounting, and Tech support) are on the line.
🤝 The Network: From 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the floor opens for high-value networking with the "who’s who" of the Toronto innovation scene.
WHY ATTEND?
Whether you are looking for your next investment, a co-founder, or simply the inspiration to start your own journey, SSN-21 is the room where it happens.
The SSN Mindset
SSN is more than a pitch night; it’s a community of builders. We ask every attendee to:
✅ Champion founders and their bold ideas.
✅ Ask the hard questions that spark great conversations.
✅ Connect and collaborate to make the room better than you found it.
Note: This is a high-demand, limited-capacity event. While we strive to include as many members of our community as possible, registration is subject to approval.
See you there! ✨🎤
