COAST Pitchfest (Founders)
Coast Pitchfest
Could your ocean-saving BC company use $10K to create more impact?
Dive into the future of sustainable oceans as early-stage blue economy startups pitch their innovative solutions for the chance to win $10,000 in cash.
Sponsored by Spring and presented by COAST.
What is COAST Pitchfest?
Whether you’re preventing plastics from entering the ocean or providing alternatives to critically low seafood stocks, we want to hear all about it. Spring is partnering with COAST – the Centre for Ocean Applied Sustainable Technologies – Pacific Canada’s hub for the sustainable blue economy.
From the pool of applicants, a shortlist of early-stage startups innovating in the ocean space will be selected to pitch their company at a live event in Vancouver later this month. The winner walks away with $10K CDN – not an investment, a grant or a loan – just actual cash to use as you need it for your company.
Are you eligible?
All applicants must meet the following criteria to be considered for the pitch:
- Pre-commercial with $0 revenue or zero production sales (don’t worry, early adoption sales and prototype sales are okay)
- Be part of the blue economy
- Based in British Columbia
- Be a COAST member (it’s free! Sign up here.)
Ventures apply to pitch by April 17th EOD and finalists will pitch in person on April 22, 2024, from 1-3 PM PST at the Pinnacle Harbourfront Hotel in Vancouver.
