Fall Founders Cohort 2017

The results are in! The 2017 EPIC Fall Founders Program came to a close on December 1st, 2017 with a Final Pitch Day. In the afternoon, each founder had the opportunity to showcase their Minimum Viable Products in a tradeshow-style setup at EPICentre. Guests were able to demo each innovation before the official pitch presentation session. Here, founders had 6 minutes to present their progress through the term and their learning outcomes to a panel of judges.

  • Sara Alhasan, Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE)
  • Yvonne Pilon, WEtech Alliance
  • Colin McKillop, Windsor-Essex Capital Angel Network (WECAN)
