​Round 3 is here!

​Join us for our Top 25 Networking Reception, where this year’s Top 25 ventures will meet their dedicated mentoring teams and kick off the next stage of the Competition.

​The evening will also feature a brief fireside chat with Paschal Okwundu, Founder & CEO of Binta Financial and winner of the 2025 New Ventures BC Competition, who will share insights on how to build strong mentor relationships and make the most of the opportunities available throughout the Competition.
