Meet the 2024 JMH LaunchPad Pitch Competition Competitors!

On Wednesday, April 3rd, the top student ventures will be taking the stage to compete in the 12th annual JMH LaunchPad Pitch Competition. Hosted yearly by the Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, the JMH LaunchPad Pitch Competition is the most anticipated event for student entrepreneurs dreaming of launching their businesses. 


Over the past 12 years, 87 budding student entrepreneurs from Mount Royal University have presented their business ventures for a chance to win a part of the $70,000 in cash and in-kind prizes. JMH LaunchPad Pitch Competition participants undergo extensive training for pitch preparation, participate in personalized advanced mentorship from our coaches and mentors, and receive peer-to-peer support to prepare for the competition. The pitch competition provides a platform for student entrepreneurs to launch their businesses and receive support from the Calgary innovation ecosystem.
