The Funding Roadshow, a Fundica initiative designed to
give entrepreneurs across Canada the opportunity to pitch to a panel of
funders, announces that it will hold events in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto,
Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver during the month of May 2013. The Funding
Roadshow is designed to both better educate entrepreneurs on funding
opportunities and facilitate connections between funders and entrepreneurs.
In the month of May 2013, up to 180 entrepreneurs will
each pitch their business idea for five minutes and then answer questions and
receive candid feedback for five minutes in a boardroom setting. A panel of
government and private sector funders in each city will be exposed to a series
of up to 30 entrepreneurs throughout the day, enabling them to provide greater
visibility for their programs and select potential funding targets.
“We need to make it easier for entrepreneurs to learn
about funding and get funded both online and in face-to-face settings” says
Mike Lee from Fundica. “What better way is there to do this than in front of a
team of serious funders?” he explains.
