Meet Mount Royal University's 2021 JMH LaunchPad Cohort!
On Monday April 12, the top ventures are competing for their share of cash and in-kind serves during the ninth annual JMH LaunchPad Pitch Competition!
LaunchPad is our biggest event of the year where students and recent alumni from across campus pitch their venture to a panel of esteemed judges and a supportive audience. Teams are given 5 minutes to pitch, followed by another 5 minutes of Q&A from the judges.
The JMH LaunchPad is generously supported by JMH & Co, LaBarge Weinstein LLP, and Grant Designs.
This year LaunchPad will be hosted digitally. Mount Royal students, staff and alumni can email innovate@mtroyal.ca for tickets and the public can watch via a live stream starting at 6:00pm on Monday April 12.
