Have the best new startup in BC?
The BCIC-New Ventures Competition is back! For the 18th year, New Ventures BC is giving away over $275,000 in cash and prizes to the most promising new tech ventures across the province.
New Ventures BC applies a broad definition of technology—past entrants have created keyless entry for guest rentals, created an app for medical clinics, and designed new ways to read plant signals with drones. There’s room for all types of innovative technologies.
More than just the top prizes
The competition is about more than just the prizes. #nvbc2018 offers education seminars to improve your business, feedback from industry leaders, and mentorship for the top 40 finalists. Events start April 4th, and our kick-off networking event is April 11th. Register or learn more about NVBC events.
Beyond the top prizes, there are industry specific prizes for the top placing social, health sciences and resource-based ventures. There’s also a cash prize for the top regional startup.
Who has won before? Ecoation Innovative Solutions, Edvisor, Awesense, Vonigo, Microdermics, Minesense, and LightIntegra, just to name a few!
Who can enter? The competition is open to early-stage, BC-based startups. Your business cannot have raised over $1,000,000 in financing, and must be less than five years old.
