Ignite Capital Pitch Competition – Closing Date 10th Sept

August 10, 2017 by Neal Lilliott

Ignite Capital is a Toronto-based not-for-profit that gives aspiring Ontario entrepreneurs, who have limited access to capital, the opportunity to compete for funding and business support.

Ignite Capital is an annual competition that invites emerging Ontario entrepreneurs who have limited access to capital, to compete for up to $25,000 in funding (combination of grant/loan).  Those that meet the criteria are invited to submit a business plan and two years of financials in one of four categories – women, immigrants, youth and Start Me Up categories.  The applications are then reviewed by the internal Ignite team and a panel of business experts, shortlisting to three applicants per category who participate in a live pitch.

The program, established in 2012, is funded by Pat McNamara, an entrepreneur and founder of APEX Public Relations, one of our generous sponsors. It is managed by Business In The Streets, an affiliated organization which extends similar support to enterprising youth in Toronto.

Application closing date 10th September 2017
