2025 Investor Showcase

Meet UBC’s Investor Ready Companies at the 2024 Investor Showcase

As one of the top 40 universities in the world, the University of British Columbia (UBC) is a catalyst for innovation. Across the UBC landscape, we are seeing research and ideas brought to bear through entrepreneurial pathways, being propelled from the university into the world creating positive economic, cultural and environmental impacts through venture creation.

entrepreneurship@UBC in collaboration with the Institute of Computing, Information and Cognitive Systems (ICICS) have leveraged this innovation and entrepreneurial energy through HATCH Venture Builder (HATCH), creating a place where entrepreneurs with the drive to shape a better world receive the guidance and resources to achieve their greatest potential.   

For the past 10 years, entrepreneurship@UBC - Vancouver, an operating unit of Innovation UBC, has mobilized innovation in collaboration with other entities across the university and wider innovation ecosystem. entrepreneurship@UBC is one of the premier offerings within the robust entrepreneurial ecosystem of BC due to the strength of its programs, resources and partnerships. 

Our ventures have participated in rigorous training and mentorship to help prepare them for the uncertainty of entrepreneurship as they endure the riskiest stages of venture creation: building networks, establishing market traction and accessing capital. A company’s investor is one of the most important relationships they will have and we’ve seen our innovation ecosystem come out and champion our founders time and time again as they embark on this next stage of their venture building journeys.

Join us Tuesday May 7 from 4-8pm at UBC Robson Square to meet the HATCH ventures ready to raise at the 2024 Investor Showcase, presented by entrepreneurship@UBC and ICICS!
